Original Research by School Decision on Verdigris Es
Verdigris Elementary School serves students from prekindergarten through third grade in the Verdigris district, about a short drive northeast of downtown Claremore. The school sits in a stretch of Rogers County that blends rural land with residential development, and its zip code area shows housing values above the state median and somewhat below the national median. Rents in the same area are moderate relative to what a typical household earns nationally, and the monthly cost of owning a home is close to the local rent figure, so families weighing buy versus rent face a near-even comparison. The broader economy shows a national unemployment rate that has held steady, and real median household income nationally has risen gradually over the past few years.
Enrollment at Verdigris ES is on the smaller side for a school covering early elementary grades. The student body draws from families in the area and reflects a mix of backgrounds, with white students accounting for the largest share, followed by a substantial population of American Indian or Alaska Native students, a significant number of students identifying with two or more races, and smaller shares of Hispanic, Asian, and Black students. Data on the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals is not available, so a reader cannot gauge economic need from this source directly. Likewise, counts of students with disabilities and English learners are missing from the profile. Families asking about those supports will want to check with the school or district directly.
State testing results are available for the third-grade math assessment, and they show that the majority of tested students scored at the proficient level or above. That proficiency rate lands in the top quarter when compared with other elementary schools in Rogers County, and it sits well above the midpoint of the county’s range. That is a clear strength. English language arts results for third graders were suppressed in the data provided, meaning the state did not release a figure for public reporting, so no comparison is possible on that subject for this grade. Because the school serves only early grades, there is no graduation rate to consider.
The district itself, Verdigris Public Schools, did not have substantial recent changes surfaced through public reporting. No major boundary shifts, consolidations, or program overhauls appear in the available record. Families coming into the area can expect a continuity of operations and are unlikely to encounter a disruption from district-level restructuring.
The school is not a charter and is part of a traditional public district. It does not have a magnet designation. Information about programs such as gifted offerings, arts rotations, or before- and after-care was not available in the data provided. A parent who wants to understand the full daily experience for a kindergartner or a third grader here would need to visit, talk to current families, or ask the school directly.
The Claremore context offers a setting with downtown street life that, based on available description, has the feel of a county seat with local restaurants and retail. The school’s location is outside the central part of town, on a road that runs through a more open landscape. For a family looking at a home in this zip code, the elementary school is a single point of entry into the Verdigris district, which feeds into higher grades elsewhere. The school’s solid math proficiency and its strong relative standing in the county are the main academic signals available. The missing data on economic need, special education, English learner support, and English language arts performance means a fuller picture will require direct inquiry.
