Elementary Schools in Holdenville

The Holdenville area has only one elementary school, Ethel Reed Elementary School, which serves students in the community. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, it has shown some bright spots in its 3rd grade test scores, outperforming the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Ethel Reed Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 89.27% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the school serves a predominantly low-income community. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,853, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year is 14.1, suggesting that the school has access to adequate funding and resources.

Despite the school's consistent underperformance, the analysis of the data reveals that Ethel Reed Elementary School may be making progress in certain subject areas, as evidenced by its 3rd grade test scores. The high poverty levels and the need for continued improvement in overall academic performance suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to help address these challenges and improve the educational outcomes for its students.
