Elementary Schools in Holdenville

The Holdenville school district in Oklahoma contains one elementary school, Ethel Reed Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in 3rd grade mathematics, it faces socioeconomic challenges and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade.

Ethel Reed Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance on the OSTP/Mathematics assessment, with 50% of 3rd grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34%. The school also has a diverse student population, with 50% White, 32.44% Native American, 8.93% Hispanic, 5.65% African American, and 0.3% Asian students. However, a high percentage (86.9%) of Ethel Reed Elementary School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population that may face unique educational challenges.

Despite its academic strengths, Ethel Reed Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in 2009-2010 and a 2-star rating in 2014-2015 and 2010-2011. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and per-student spending of $8,853 in the 2018-2019 school year suggest that the district is investing resources in the school, but the overall educational outcomes have not yet matched the state's average performance.
