Summary

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 501. The school is part of the Tahlequah School District, which is ranked 161 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 156th out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 347th out of 614 schools in 2024-2025, and a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2.

However, the school has some bright spots in its subgroup performance, ranking 32nd out of 110 Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic students and 26th out of 79 for Native American students in 2024-2025. When compared to nearby schools in the Tahlequah district, such as Heritage Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking, Greenwood Elementary generally underperforms. Addressing the school's challenges may require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
