Summary:
The Blanchard area is home to two elementary schools, Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School and Blanchard Elementary School, which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Oklahoma and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School has demonstrated exceptional academic performance, with 61-72% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, significantly outpacing the state average. In contrast, Blanchard Elementary School, which serves the younger grades, does not have the same level of standout performance based on the available data.
The difference in spending per student between the two schools ($8,054 for Blanchard Elementary School and $6,613 for Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School) is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to understand how this may impact the educational experience and outcomes. Additionally, the relatively lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch at Blanchard Intermediate Elementary School (45.38%) compared to Blanchard Elementary School (47.17%) could be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools.
