Calera

The Calera school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Calera Elementary School and Calera High School. Based on the available data, Calera Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing school in the district, with consistently higher rankings, test scores, and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to Calera High School.

Calera Elementary School has consistently ranked higher than Calera High School in the statewide school digger rankings, reaching as high as 125th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023. The elementary school also has higher proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5. Additionally, Calera Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 16.3 compared to 12.2 at Calera High School.

While both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, over 70%, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school ($8,184 vs. $12,401) is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation. The relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at Calera High School, particularly in Mathematics (10.4% proficient in 2023-2024), suggest opportunities for improvement in academic performance at the high school level.
