Winding Creek Es, Moore OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Winding Creek Es

Winding Creek Elementary School serves students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Moore, Oklahoma, a fast-growing suburb situated between Oklahoma City and Norman. Part of the Moore Public Schools district, the school occupies a residential neighborhood near the city’s eastern edge. Its enrollment is in a typical range for an elementary school covering that grade span, and the student body reflects the broader community’s demographic profile: a majority of students are white, with a substantial Hispanic presence, a notable multiracial group, and smaller shares of Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Asian students. Data on economic disadvantage, such as the share eligible for free or reduced-price meals, was not available, so families looking to understand the school’s socioeconomic context may want to ask the school or district directly.

Academic performance is measured by Oklahoma’s state assessment for grades three through six. Results from the most recent testing year show a mixed picture. In mathematics, the share of students scoring proficient or above varied by grade, with the highest performance in fifth grade and lower rates in fourth and sixth grades. In English language arts, third and fourth grade results were on the lower end; results for fifth and sixth grade were suppressed, which can occur when a small group’s data is withheld to protect student privacy. Science results for fifth grade were also suppressed. Overall, when looking at the school’s combined proficiency across tested subjects and grades, Winding Creek falls below the midpoint when compared with other school districts in Cleveland County. This comparison uses a proficiency index that averages all reported rates. The state also changed its cut scores for math and English language arts in this testing cycle, which means year-to-year trend comparisons are not available. A parent who wants a fuller picture of how the school supports students in core subjects may want to discuss this directly with school staff.

Winding Creek is a neighborhood public school, not a charter or magnet. It does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report. Several other data points common on school profiles, such as chronic absenteeism, discipline rates, course access, and staffing ratios, were not available in the source data. The school’s Title I status was also not reported.

The surrounding city of Moore has grown rapidly over recent decades, transforming from a small town into a suburban city of substantial size. Its built environment is car-dependent, bisected by major highways including Interstate 35. Civic amenities include a public library, city parks, a community center, and a pool. Major employers include a local medical center and the Moore Norman Technology Center, and retail plays a prominent role in the economy. Housing values in the area are around the state average, and rents have been rising moderately. The district itself has made recent investments: teacher salary schedules increased noticeably over a two-year period, and revenue per student has grown, reflecting a financial commitment that may influence classroom resources and staffing.

For a family considering this school, the core takeaway is a mid-sized elementary in a growing suburban district where state test results overall sit below the county midpoint, with variability across grade levels. The community offers standard suburban amenities and a relatively affordable housing market compared to national benchmarks. The lack of available data on free lunch rates, chronic absenteeism, and staffing makes it harder to assess student support structures and school climate; a parent would benefit from visiting the school or speaking with current families to fill in those gaps.

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.
