Summary:
The Guthrie area is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Fogarty Elementary School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, with strong test scores, a high statewide ranking, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios compared to the other schools.
The other 3 elementary schools - Charter Oak, Cotteral, and Central - all have lower test scores, lower statewide rankings, and higher free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting potential challenges in serving their student populations. Spending per student varies across the schools, but the higher spending at Central Elementary does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes.
Overall, the Guthrie school district as a whole is ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma districts, indicating room for improvement across the district. The high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools (56-80%) suggest that the Guthrie schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages.
