Summary

Highland Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stillwater, Oklahoma, serving 543 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Stillwater school district. The school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 139th out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 247th out of 614 schools in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, earning a 3-star rating.

Highland Park Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have increased from 14.3% in 2022-2023 to 19.0% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates in OSTP/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also lower than the Stillwater district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade, only 40% of students were proficient in ELA, compared to 53% in the Stillwater district and 27% statewide.

Interestingly, the nearby Sangre Ridge Elementary and Richmond Elementary schools consistently outperform Highland Park Elementary, ranking 8th and 14th, respectively, out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2024-2025. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility at Highland Park may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance compared to its peers.
