Summary:
The two elementary schools located in Wagoner, Oklahoma serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While both schools have received 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, their performance and student demographics vary, providing parents with distinct options to consider.
Ellington Elementary School stands out for its higher percentage of White and multiracial students, as well as its lower per-student spending and slightly higher student-teacher ratio compared to William R. Teague Elementary School. However, Ellington Elementary lacks available test score data, making it difficult to assess its academic performance. In contrast, William R. Teague Elementary outperforms the state and district averages in mathematics and science proficiency, particularly in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.
The most notable finding is the significant decline in William R. Teague Elementary's statewide ranking, from 138 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 229 out of 276 schools in 2022-2023, accompanied by a drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 4 stars to 1 star. This concerning trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance decline. Additionally, the potential relationship between student demographics and academic outcomes at these two schools could be an area for further exploration.
