Summary

Salina Elementary School serves 315 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Salina, Oklahoma, in the Salina district. In 2025–26, 10% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 11% in mathematics and 20% in science, below state results in all three subjects. The most important concern is that results were weak not only against the state, but also compared with most nearby schools.

Mathematics and science are relative strengths against the district, but Salina still trails the nearby-school averages in every subject. ELA was 2 percentage points below the district, math was 2 points above it, and science was 4 points above it; compared with the state, Salina was 16 points lower in ELA, 14 lower in math and 10 lower in science. Nearby-school averages were 23% in ELA, 28% in math and 41% in science, putting Salina 13, 17 and 21 points lower, respectively. Among nearby schools with scores, Salina ranked second-lowest in ELA, tied for second-lowest in math and lowest in science.

Results have been flat in ELA and declined in math and science: ELA stayed at 10% from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math fell from 17% to 11%, and science fell from 29% to 20%. SchoolDigger ranked Salina 558th of 626 schools, at the 11th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, down from the 19th percentile in 2024–25. Its student–teacher ratio was relatively low at 12.5 in 2024–25, and chronic absenteeism was below the state rate in 2025–26 (13.5% versus 15.9%). In 2024–25, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-highest rate among ten nearby schools reporting that measure. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Salina serves Native American students fell to the 9th percentile in 2025–26 from the 26th percentile in 2022–23. Its measure for Low Socio Economic Status Students also declined, from the 30th percentile in 2023–24 to the 11th in 2025–26. The score history covers two years, so it cannot establish a longer-term trend.
