Original Research by School Decision on Kellyville Upper Es
Kellyville Upper Es serves third through sixth grade in the small town of Kellyville, Oklahoma, a Route 66 community about a short drive southwest of Sapulpa. The school is part of the Kellyville district, which operates a pre-K through twelve system. The town itself has a modest population and a low-density, small-town layout centered on Elm Street. Many employed residents commute to jobs in Sapulpa and Tulsa, though Webco Industries runs a specialty alloy tubing plant locally and is a significant employer. The housing market is priced below the national benchmark, with values that have risen at a modest pace.
The school enrolls a moderate number of students across its four grade levels. The student body is majority white, with a substantial share of students identifying as two or more races and a notable presence of American Indian or Alaska Native students. Smaller shares identify as Hispanic and Asian, and there were no Black or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students reported in the enrollment data. Information on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the level of economic and academic support resources present.
State testing results from the most recent school year show a picture worth examining. In third grade math and English language arts, roughly one in five students scored at the proficient level or above. In fourth grade, the share was slightly lower in both subjects. Results for fifth and sixth grade math and English language arts, as well as fifth grade science, were suppressed, which often happens when the tested group is small. The school's overall proficiency index, which averages performance across all tested subjects and grades, placed Kellyville Upper Es below the midpoint relative to other districts in Creek County. This is a soft spot in the academic picture. A parent considering this school may want to discuss with school staff how the curriculum and instruction are structured, what interventions are in place for students who are not yet meeting benchmarks, and how the school supports students in the grades where results were not reported.
Because this is an upper elementary school, it does not have a graduation rate. The district runs the later grades, so the feeder pattern into middle and high school would be relevant for families planning ahead. No data was available on chronic absenteeism, discipline, course access, or staffing, which are areas a parent may want to explore further with the school.
The district itself did not show any recent notable changes in the publicly available record, so a parent should expect a relatively stable administrative context.
Overall, Kellyville Upper Es serves a community that is small-town and commuter-oriented. The school's academic results, where available, indicate that many students are not yet meeting state proficiency benchmarks. A family considering this school would likely want a close look at the classroom experience, the support structures in place, and how the school works with students who need additional help.
