At Elk City Public Schools, we believe true academic success is about continuous growth, not just a single test score.
Every year, students in grades 3-8 participate in the Oklahoma State Testing Program to measure their learning progress. However, our teachers don't wait until the end of the year to see how students are doing. Through data-driven instruction, our educators track student growth year-round. This allows them to customize daily learning and provide precise support exactly where it is needed most.
When teachers and students collaborate on this growth-minded approach, the results are incredible.
Look no further than last year’s 6th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) results. By designing targeted lessons focused on building reading stamina with real books in hand, our students achieved phenomenal success:
80% of our 6th graders scored at the Basic, Proficient, or Advanced level—outperforming their state peers by 12%.
10% of our students achieved the Advanced level, compared to a state average of just 3%.
Thank you to our dedicated teachers and hard-working students for proving that consistent effort yields amazing outcomes.
