Mooreland Es, Mooreland OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mooreland Es

Mooreland ES serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in a single school building in Mooreland, Oklahoma. It is the only elementary and middle school in the Mooreland district, a small rural system in Woodward County. The enrollment is modest for a PK-8 school, and the student body is predominantly white, with a Hispanic share and a very small representation of American Indian or Alaska Native students and students of two or more races.

The school sits in a town that has long been an agricultural service center for wheat and grain farming, with grain elevators, a farmers cooperative, and a few notable local employers such as Prather Cues, a pool cue manufacturer that sells worldwide. Mooreland’s population has been stable over recent decades, and the housing market is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks. Families moving here are likely to find a compact, quiet community where civic life centers on Main Street, the city park, and the school itself. No major expansion or development projects were identified in publicly available information; this is a place that has held steady.

Academically, Mooreland ES participates in Oklahoma’s state testing program, the OSTP, for grades three through eight in math and English language arts, and for grades five and eight in science. The state adjusted cut scores for math and ELA in recent years, so year-over-year comparisons are not straightforward. Across the grade levels where results were reported, proficiency rates in math and ELA were well below a majority of students reaching the proficient or above threshold. In math, the share of students scoring proficient or above ranged from the teens to just under a third across grade levels. In ELA, reported rates were similarly low. Science results for eighth grade showed a little over a quarter of students proficient, but fifth-grade science data was suppressed. Several grade-level results in both math and ELA were suppressed entirely, which is common when the number of students in a group is small enough that individual results could be identifiable. A parent may want to talk with the school about what supports are in place to raise achievement.

Because the school serves only through eighth grade, there is no graduation rate to report. That is a function of the grade band, not a missing metric. Students in Mooreland move on to high school elsewhere, likely in the same district or a nearby one; the data we have does not specify the high school arrangement.

When compared with other districts in Woodward County, Mooreland’s overall proficiency index lands above the midpoint. There are five districts in the county, and the school performs better than the lowest in the set but trails the highest. Chronic absenteeism data and graduation rate data were not available, so those comparisons cannot be made.

The district itself appears to be stable; we looked for recent changes or strategic priorities publicly reported but found little of note. The school’s programs, staffing ratios, and details on special education or English learner services were not available in the data we received.

Mooreland ES offers a small-town setting where the school is the academic and civic anchor for families through the middle grades. The academic performance numbers are modest, and parents who value strong test outcomes will want to investigate how the school is addressing those areas. For families who already live in or are moving to Mooreland for employment or lifestyle reasons, the school provides a familiar, contained environment from pre-K through eighth grade, with the understanding that high school will require a transition.

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.
