Crutcho, OK - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Crutcho

Crutcho is a small school district in Oklahoma County serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Because it does not include high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and the academic picture is limited to the state assessments given in elementary and middle school. The district enrolls a modest number of students, and the student body is predominantly Black, with smaller shares of White students, students of two or more races, and Hispanic students; there are also a few American Indian students. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, as well as counts of students with disabilities or English learners, were not available.

On the Oklahoma School Testing Program, proficiency rates across math, English language arts, and science were low in every tested grade. In math, the proportion of students scoring proficient or above ranged from a very small share in eighth grade to about a quarter in third grade. In ELA, proficiency rates were generally in the low teens across grades, with a slightly higher share in seventh grade and a lower share in fifth grade. Science results for fifth and eighth graders each showed about one in five students reaching proficiency. When compared with other districts in Oklahoma County, Crutcho’s overall proficiency index sits below the midpoint of the county, indicating that academic performance is a clear area of concern. The district’s chronic absenteeism rate, at a level that places it in the bottom quartile among county districts, is another signal families may want to explore further with the school.

Per-pupil current spending is in the upper half of the middle range among Oklahoma County districts, suggesting the district allocates a relatively higher level of resources per student, even as academic outcomes remain low. The housing market in the areas served by the district shows home values that are well below national and even statewide benchmarks, and rents are also relatively modest. That combination of affordability and a lower-cost housing stock may be relevant for a parent considering the area. A search for recent district-level changes such as curriculum shifts, property-tax measures, or new programs turned up nothing publicly reported in the recent span, so the district’s approach appears to have been stable on those fronts.

Crutcho is a single-school district, with one campus serving all grades. For a parent, the central question this data raises is whether the academic support and instructional environment can address the low proficiency rates and high absenteeism. With no high school, families will eventually need to look elsewhere for grades nine through twelve, likely at a neighboring district or a charter or private school. The district fits a family seeking a small, PK-8 setting in an affordable corner of the Oklahoma City metro area, but one who is prepared to engage directly with the school about its academic challenges and attendance patterns.
