Academically, Scissortail Elementary has struggled compared to other schools in the Edmond district and the state of Oklahoma. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 285 out of 389 elementary schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Edmond district and state averages. This may be partly due to the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.49%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population.
However, Scissortail Elementary's smaller class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, could be an advantage, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Nearby Washington Irving Elementary, West Field Elementary, Charles Haskell Elementary, and Angie Debo Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The Deer Creek School District also has schools, such as Grove Valley Elementary, that outperform Scissortail Elementary academically.
