BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Oklahoma's top nor bottom 10%.

BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

How to read these scores

What is OSTP / CCRA?
OSTP / CCRA is the statewide standardized test administered by Oklahoma public schools.
What does "% Proficient + Advanced" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 20.0% mean for English Language Arts at THOREAU DEMONSTRATION ACADEMY?
It means about 20.0 percent of students tested at THOREAU DEMONSTRATION ACADEMY performed at grade level or above on the OSTP / CCRA English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Oklahoma that year was 30.6%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Oklahoma, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Oklahoma State Department of Education, Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) for grades 3-8 and CCRA for HS. School-level Media-Redacted summary files from the OSDE state testing resources. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Advanced" rate (top 2 of 4 OSTP performance levels).
How often is it updated?
OSTP / CCRA is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
