Summary

Wright City Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Wright City, Oklahoma, with 280 students. The school is part of the Wright City School District, which is ranked 193 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wright City Elementary School was once a top-performing school, ranking 49th out of 957 schools in the state in 2014-2015, its performance has steadily declined over the years. The school now ranks 444th out of 614 schools, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4.7% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 8%.

When comparing Wright City Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Lukfata Public School, located just 13.08 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 100 elementary schools in the state and outperforms Wright City Elementary School across all subject areas. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Wright City Elementary School may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to academic success.
