Summary

Wetumka Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Wetumka School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 282 students, Wetumka Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma elementary schools, ranking 462 out of 614 in the 2024-2025 school year.

Wetumka Elementary struggles academically, with only 12-13% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26%. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 28.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Wetumka Elementary serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with 85.61% to 89.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school spends less per student, at $9,965 in 2018-2019, than many surrounding schools.

Compared to nearby schools like Ethel Reed Elementary and Moss Elementary, Wetumka Elementary performs poorly, with significantly lower academic proficiency and higher chronic absenteeism. Unfortunately, Wetumka Elementary's ranking and performance has remained consistently low over the past decade, with little to no improvement seen in test scores or other metrics. Addressing the root causes of Wetumka Elementary's challenges, such as improving attendance and providing additional academic resources, will require targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for its students.
