Elementary Schools in Norman

The Norman Public School District in Oklahoma is home to 18 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This analysis provides an overview of the key insights discovered about the performance and characteristics of these schools.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic achievement across the elementary schools in Norman. Roosevelt Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School stand out as the top-performing schools, ranking 15th and 17th respectively out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. These schools boast consistently high test scores, with over 60% of students proficient or better in core subjects, and relatively low rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, schools like Adams Elementary and Madison Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

The data also reveals significant variations in student demographics, resource allocation, and student-teacher ratios across the Norman elementary schools. While some schools, like Dimensions Academy, have higher spending per student and smaller class sizes, the relationship between these factors and student outcomes is not always clear. The analysis suggests that addressing the persistent educational inequities in the Norman Public School District will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique challenges and strengths of each school community.
