Red Oak Es, Oklahoma City OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Red Oak Es

Red Oak Elementary is a public school in the Moore district, serving children from preschool through sixth grade. It sits in the southern part of Oklahoma City, in Cleveland County. Oklahoma City is a sprawling state capital with a large land area, mixing dense downtown districts, wide residential suburbs, and industrial zones. The economy is anchored by energy, aviation, federal employment at Tinker Air Force Base, and state government. The school’s attendance area falls within a suburban part of the city where home values run above the Oklahoma state typical level. The Moore district itself has been increasing its financial investment in schools; publicly reported information shows a substantial rise in teacher salary schedules in recent years, as well as growth in per-student revenue, signaling a district putting resources into staffing and programs.

The student body is diverse. White students are the largest group, followed by a sizable share of Hispanic students, a notable number of students identifying as two or more races, and smaller but present groups of Asian, Black, and American Indian students. No information on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals or receiving special education or English learner services was available in the data we reviewed. A parent who wants to understand the school’s support resources for those populations may want to ask the school directly.

Academically, Red Oak’s overall proficiency across the tested subjects of math, English language arts, and science places it in the top quarter when compared to other elementary schools in other districts within Cleveland County — a clear strength. That ranking comes from the average of all reported grade-level results. However, within the school, performance varies noticeably by grade and subject. In tested grades, math proficiency rates ranged from a lower mark in fifth grade to a higher one in fourth grade. English language arts results also differed by grade, with sixth grade producing a stronger outcome than third or fifth. Some grade-level results were suppressed from public reporting, which typically happens when a group is too small to report. The state changed its proficiency cut scores for math and English language arts in the tested year, so the results are not directly comparable to previous years. Science performance at fifth grade fell in the middle range. Because the school ends at sixth grade, there is no graduation rate to report.

No information on chronic absenteeism or discipline was available for this school, and staffing ratios were not part of the data provided. A parent may want to ask the school for those details.

Red Oak is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet. Its enrollment size is typical for a school serving this grade band. The school operates on a standard calendar within the Moore system, which has been growing and investing. For a family looking for an elementary school in a growing suburban district where state test scores relative to the county are strong, Red Oak fits. A family concerned about inconsistency across individual grades may want to examine grade-level outcomes more closely with the school.

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.
