Elementary Schools in Blanchard

The Blanchard area is home to two elementary schools, Blanchard Elementary School and Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School, which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While both schools share similarities in their student demographics, Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Oklahoma.

Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and was ranked 54th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2022-2023 academic year. The school's strong academic performance is evident in its students' significantly above-average scores on the OSTP assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Blanchard Elementary School, which serves the younger grades, does not demonstrate the same level of standout performance based on the available data.

While both schools have similar percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 35%, Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School has a slightly more diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic and Native American students compared to Blanchard Elementary School. Additionally, Blanchard Elementary School spends more per student, despite its lower academic performance, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to student success.
