Claremont Elementary School, a public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, is located in the town of Claremore, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Claremore Public Schools district. For a family looking at this school, the core academic picture is one where proficiency rates on state assessments fall below what many parents hope to see, though the school does serve a diverse student body in a community with a specific economic context.
The student population is mixed in its composition. White students make up a substantial share, with a notable presence of students who identify as two or more races. There are also meaningful shares of Hispanic students and American Indian or Alaska Native students, alongside very small numbers of Asian, Black, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander students. This gives the school a degree of racial and ethnic diversity that may appeal to families who want their children in a multi-cultural setting.
On state testing, the available results for the most recent year show that across tested grades in math, English language arts, and science, the share of students scoring at the proficient level or above was generally modest. In third grade, for both math and English language arts, the proficiency rate was a quarter of students. For fourth grade, math proficiency was higher, but English language arts was lower. By fifth grade, proficiency in math, English language arts, and science each fell to around a fifth of students. The school’s proficiency index, which averages these results, places it below the midpoint when compared to other districts within Rogers County. Oklahoma also changed its cut scores recently, which means these results may not be directly comparable to prior years, a factor a parent may want to discuss with the school to understand how performance is trending.
Because the school only serves through fifth grade, there is no graduation rate to report here. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education services, and English learner status were not available in the provided information, so a parent would need to contact the school directly to get a fuller picture of the economic and learning support needs among the student body.
Claremore itself, where the school is located, is a city that sits within driving distance of the Tulsa metropolitan area. Housing values in the area are modest compared to national averages, and rents are similarly more manageable, which may be an important factor for families weighing the trade-offs between school options and housing costs. The national economic context shows that mortgage rates are at a level that could affect home-buying decisions for families moving to the area.
The school’s setting is in a more traditional small-city context, and the district did not have any recent major changes that would be considered enduring, such as a bond package or curriculum overhaul, based on publicly reported information. For a family, the central consideration here is whether the academic performance levels, which are below the county median, align with their expectations and whether the school’s diversity and community setting meet their needs. A parent may want to visit the school, speak with teachers about how they are addressing the proficiency gaps, and understand what supports are in place for students who are not yet meeting the state benchmarks.
