Claremore

The Claremore school district in Oklahoma consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools exhibit a range of performance levels, Roosa Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 47th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Across the district, the schools serve student populations with significant economic diversity, as evidenced by the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 43.74% at Claremore High School to 66.41% at Claremont Elementary. This diversity is also reflected in the racial demographics, with Native American and Hispanic students comprising 19-22% and 11-15% of the student bodies, respectively. While test scores vary, Claremont Elementary stands out for its 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 35%, matching the Claremore district and state averages despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population.

The Claremore school district's student-teacher ratios range from 13.7 to 18.1, with the elementary schools generally having lower ratios than the middle and high schools. This variation may be an area for further investigation, as lower ratios can potentially provide more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the district's diverse student populations and range of performance levels present both challenges and opportunities for continuous improvement efforts, with the potential to learn from the successes of standout schools like Roosa Elementary.
