Summary

Roland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 427 students in grades PK-5 in Roland, Oklahoma, which is part of the Roland School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 153 out of 389 schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 564 out of 957 schools in 2014-2015.

Roland Elementary School has had mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state average. In 2024-2025, the school had 36% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 26%, but only 25% of Roland students were proficient or better in math, compared to 26% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.2% to 19.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Roland Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.29% to 91.57% over the past few years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When compared to the nearby elementary schools, such as Eastside Elementary in Sallisaw and Pocola Elementary, Roland Elementary generally performs below average on state assessments. However, Roland Elementary's white students and low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively well compared to the state averages for those subgroups. Despite spending more per student than some of the nearby schools, Roland Elementary's academic performance is still below average, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality and student/family engagement, may be playing a role.
