Summary:
The 74055 zip code area of Owasso, Oklahoma is home to 8 elementary schools that are part of the Owasso school district, which is ranked 87 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools, such as Pamela Hodson Elementary School and Stone Canyon Elementary School, and the lower-performing schools, like Northeast Elementary School, Mills Elementary School, and Larkin Bailey Elementary School.
The top-performing schools, Pamela Hodson and Stone Canyon, have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages, with Pamela Hodson ranking 11th out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools and Stone Canyon ranking 60th out of 389. These schools also tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, the lower-performing schools struggle to meet state averages, with proficiency rates often below 40%. The data suggests that these performance gaps may be correlated with differences in student demographics, such as free/reduced lunch rates, which range from 28% at Stone Canyon to over 80% at Ator Elementary School.
While some schools maintain relatively stable performance, others show more fluctuating rankings and ratings from year to year, indicating potential instability in the factors driving academic success. The data also suggests that even lower-performing schools have pockets of strength, such as stronger 3rd grade test scores, which could present opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and the application of best practices from higher-performing grade levels and schools.
