Country Lane Intermediate Es, Broken Arrow OK

Original Research by School Decision on Country Lane Intermediate Es

Country Lane Intermediate School serves third through fifth graders in the Broken Arrow Public Schools district, a sizable suburban system east of Tulsa. The school sits in a city that has transformed from a railroad-era agricultural town into one of Oklahoma's fastest-growing suburbs, and the intermediate school reflects that mix of stability and expansion. Because it is an elementary-grade building, there is no graduation rate to report, nor are there high school pathways such as Advanced Placement or career-technical programs. The school's purpose is focused squarely on the upper elementary years.

On state assessments administered in the 2024-25 school year, Country Lane's students posted proficiency rates that place the school in the top quarter of schools across Tulsa County when overall performance across tested subjects and grades is averaged together—a solid relative position. The actual rates show that roughly two out of five students met the state's proficiency bar in mathematics in each tested grade, a share that dips just below two in five for fifth-grade math. In English language arts, the rates are lower, with approximately one in four students proficient in third and fourth grades, rising to roughly three in ten in fifth grade. Fifth-grade science results sit near the same level as fifth-grade reading. A parent considering the school will want to understand that Oklahoma changed cut scores for the math and English language arts assessments in the same testing cycle, so direct comparisons to prior years are not straightforward, and the school's performance should be read in that context rather than as a simple trend. The proficiency rates themselves are modest, but the school's standing among its county peers is meaningfully above the midpoint.

The student body numbers about 700 children, making it a moderate-sized school for an intermediate grade span. The racial and ethnic composition is diverse: white students make up the largest group, followed by Hispanic students, students of two or more races, Black students, Asian students, and a small share of American Indian or Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. The data does not include rates for students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, nor counts for students with disabilities or English learners, so a parent seeking that information would need to ask the school directly.

Broken Arrow itself has built an economy beyond its original role as a Tulsa bedroom suburb. Major employers include a large flight simulator manufacturer, distribution centers, and a growing healthcare and retail sector. Housing in the school's zip code is priced above the state median and close to the national median, with rents rising at a modest pace. The city has passed a substantial bond issue for the school district in recent years, funding facility and technology improvements that affect buildings across the system, though specific changes at Country Lane are not detailed in the available records. The downtown Rose District has been revitalized with a performing arts center, farmers market, and new housing, while most residential development remains auto-oriented suburban corridors. Public transit within Broken Arrow is limited to a weekday bus connection to Tulsa.

For a family looking at Country Lane, the school offers a peer environment that is both large and varied in background, set within a growing suburban city with a strengthening local economy. Its test results are below what many families might hope for in absolute terms, yet the school holds a strong relative position among Tulsa County districts, and the state's recent assessment changes mean these numbers should be read as a baseline under new standards rather than a long-term trajectory. A parent may want to follow up with the school about student support services, special education programming, and the specific classroom strategies being used to lift literacy rates, which are the softest area in the data.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
