Summary

Walters Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Walters, Oklahoma, with 274 students. The school is part of the Walters School District, which is ranked 288 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Walters Elementary School has shown strong academic performance in recent years, with the school ranking as high as 85th out of 323 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2021-2022 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally above the state average, particularly in mathematics, where 52% of students were proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 26%. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with the all-grades proficiency rate matching the state average of 26%. Walters Elementary School generally outperforms nearby schools like Bishop Public School, Sullivan Village Elementary School, and Carriage Hills Elementary School in terms of academic performance and test scores, particularly in mathematics.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, there are some areas of concern. Walters Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.6% in 2021-2022 to 19.0% in 2024-2025, which could impact the school's academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.18% to 64.6% in recent years, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's leadership and the Walters School District should focus on addressing these challenges to ensure continued academic success for all students.
