Summary

Cedar Heights Elementary School in Woodward, OK, serves 237 students in grades 1 through 4, with over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Cedar Heights has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the 90th percentile (4 stars) in 2020-2021 to the 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2024-2025. This is a much steeper drop than nearby Highland Park Elementary School, which fell from the 57th to the 44th percentile over a similar period. Despite this overall decline, Cedar Heights shows a notable strength in mathematics, with 32% of students proficient in 2024-2025—6 points higher than the state average and 7 points higher than the district average. This math proficiency is a bright spot not shared by all peers; for example, Highland Park’s math scores (29%) are lower than Cedar Heights'. However, the school’s English Language Arts (ELA) scores (24%) fall below both district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is a volatile and growing concern at Cedar Heights. In 2022-2023, the rate spiked to 18.2%, more than double the district average (8.7%), and while it improved to 10.9% in 2023-2024, it jumped again to 15.5% in 2024-2025. This is significantly higher than Highland Park Elementary, which has an exceptionally low rate of just 4.4%. Interestingly, despite high absenteeism, the school’s overall rank improved to the 44th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting effective instructional strategies for students who are consistently present. Comparing Cedar Heights to its district peers reveals different paths to similar outcomes: Horace Mann Elementary School achieves the highest math scores in the district (36%) despite having the highest rate of students on free/reduced lunch (66.2%) and a moderate absenteeism rate (15.3%). Cedar Heights spends the least per student ($8,535) among the three Woodward elementary schools and has the highest student-teacher ratio (16.2), but these factors alone do not explain its performance challenges, which appear more tied to attendance volatility and instructional consistency.
