Summary:
In zip code 74562, there is one elementary school, Rattan Elementary School, serving grades PK through 6 with 246 students in the Rattan district, which has a 1-star rating and ranks 358th out of 452 districts in Oklahoma.
Rattan Elementary School shows a striking contrast between excellent attendance and low academic performance. The school has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.7% for 2024-2025, far better than the state average of 19.0%, indicating strong student engagement. However, academic proficiency is significantly below state averages: only 17% of students are proficient in English Language Arts (vs. 26% statewide) and just 10% in Math (vs. 26% statewide). Science is a relative strength, with 30% proficiency matching the state average. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 76.83% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, yet maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, suggesting smaller class sizes that could support more individualized instruction.
A concerning trend is the school's declining state ranking, dropping from the 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2018-2019 to the 18th percentile (1 star) in 2024-2025. A notable grade-level finding is a sharp performance drop in 5th grade, where only 4% of students are proficient in ELA and 8% in Math, compared to higher rates in other grades like 6th grade ELA at 18%. This could indicate a specific instructional or cohort issue. Overall, while Rattan Elementary School excels in attendance and has a low student-teacher ratio, its academic outcomes, particularly in Math and ELA, remain well below state averages, with a downward trend that warrants attention.
