Summary

Pretty Water Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, with 257 students and part of the Pretty Water District, which is ranked 159 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Pretty Water Public School performs well, with test scores generally higher than the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 37% of students were proficient or better in OSTP/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26%, and 49% were proficient or better in OSTP/Science, compared to the state average of 30%. The school's spending per student of $8,873 for the 2018-2019 school year is also higher than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 0.4% in 2020-2021 to 19.0% in 2024-2025, which is notably higher than the state average of 19.0% for the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lone Star Public School, Garfield Elementary School, and Jefferson Heights Elementary School, Pretty Water Public School generally performs better academically. However, its chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which may be a concern. Additionally, the school has seen a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 40.87% in 2021-2022 to 59.53% in 2023-2024, which may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population.
