Guthrie, OK - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Guthrie

Guthrie Public Schools serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade in Logan County, Oklahoma. The district covers the city of Guthrie and surrounding communities. It operates three elementary schools, an upper elementary school, a junior high school, and a high school.

Enrollment is in the mid-size range for an Oklahoma district of this grade span. The student body is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic population and a notable share of students who identify as two or more races. Smaller groups include Black, American Indian, and Asian students, along with a tiny Pacific Islander population. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, receiving special education services, or classified as English learners was not available.

State testing results are reported for grades three through eight in math and English language arts, and for grades five and eight in science. Proficiency rates across these subjects and grades are modest. In math, the share of students scoring proficient or above varies by grade, with some grades showing a lower rate and others a higher one. English language arts rates follow a similar pattern, with a range across grades. Science results differ notably between grades: the fifth-grade rate is lower, while the eighth-grade rate is substantially higher. Because Oklahoma changed cut scores for math and English language arts in this testing year, trend comparisons with prior years are not reliable.

Among the four districts in Logan County, Guthrie’s overall proficiency index ranks in the top quartile, meaning that when all tested subjects and grades are averaged together, this district’s performance is above the midpoint of its county peers. Chronic absenteeism affects about a quarter of students, a rate that falls above the midpoint among the county’s districts, meaning it is higher than the median in this small group. A four-year graduation rate was not available in the data provided, so that metric cannot be assessed here.

Per-pupil current spending places Guthrie in the middle range, lower half of the county’s four districts. The data does not include information on course access, advanced coursework, discipline rates, staffing ratios, or program offerings such as career and technical education or advanced placement, so those aspects of the district experience are unknown from this account.

Housing in the district’s attendance area shows typical home values that are close to the state median and below the national median, with a modest year-over-year increase. Rental prices have risen at a slightly faster pace over the past year. These conditions give a sense of the area’s relative affordability.

We looked for recent district developments, such as bond measures, facility projects, or policy changes, but found little publicly reported information of lasting impact. That absence means a reader may want to check the district’s website or local news for current initiatives. Guthrie Public Schools is a mid-sized district in a county seat community, with academic proficiency that is stronger relative to its immediate county neighbors than it is in absolute statewide terms, and with a chronic absenteeism rate that warrants attention from families concerned about attendance patterns.
