Summary

Sequoyah Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 304 students in grades K-5 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, which is part of the Shawnee school district. While the school has had a mixed performance history, it consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized test scores, with 35% of students proficient or better in ELA and 37% in math, compared to 23% and 16% for the district, respectively.

One notable challenge for Sequoyah Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19% to 33.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has performed well for its economically disadvantaged student population, ranking 58 out of 502 Oklahoma elementary schools for low-socioeconomic status students in 2024-2025. Sequoyah Elementary's student-teacher ratio is also relatively low, ranging from 12.7 to 15.5 in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Bethel Elementary and Grove Public School have significantly higher test scores and rankings than Sequoyah, but the school outperforms the other Shawnee district elementary schools, such as Jefferson, Horace Mann, and Will Rogers.
