Country Estates Es, Oklahoma City OK

Original Research by School Decision on Country Estates Es

Country Estates Elementary is a public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Midwest City–Del City district, situated within the sprawling Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The school sits in a part of the city that includes nearby Tinker Air Force Base and the energy-industry infrastructure that anchors the regional economy. The area’s housing market is moderately priced relative to the rest of the state, and rents are below the national average, which may appeal to families seeking an affordable entry point into the Oklahoma City housing market.

The student body is about three hundred and fifty children, making it a mid-sized elementary for its grade band. No single demographic group dominates. Roughly three in ten students are white, a quarter are Black, a fifth are Hispanic, and another fifth identify as two or more races. A small number of American Indian or Alaska Native students are enrolled, and there are very few Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. Asian students are not represented in the data. Information on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available from the school’s reporting, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the level of support provided to these populations.

Academically, the state assessment results show very low proficiency rates across all tested subjects and grades. In math, the share of students reaching the proficient level was in the low single digits for grades three, four, and five. In English language arts, the rates were also low in grades three and five, and the fourth-grade result was suppressed, likely because too few students scored at that level to report. Science proficiency in fifth grade was similarly low. Compared with other districts in Oklahoma County, Country Estates’ overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile. This is a soft spot that families should investigate further by speaking with the school about its curriculum, intervention strategies, and any recent or planned changes in instruction. The school itself does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate or college-going data to consider.

No information was provided about program offerings such as art, music, or after-school activities. The district has not reported any major recent developments like bond measures or curriculum overhauls that would be relevant to a parent researching the school. The school environment data, including discipline rates and staffing ratios, was also absent from the available records.

For a family weighing this school, the takeaway is clear. Country Estates Elementary serves a diverse student body in an affordable corner of a large, growing city, but its academic performance on state tests is well below the middle of the pack in the county. A parent who enrolls here will want to be proactive about understanding how the school supports struggling students, what academic enrichment is available, and whether the school’s trajectory is changing. Without more detailed information from the school itself, those are the natural next questions.

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.
