Summary:
The city of Anadarko, Oklahoma is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a student population that faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with the majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in Anadarko, Riverside Indian School, an alternative school, stands out for its extremely high free and reduced lunch rate of 99.34% and a very high student-teacher ratio of 56.5, which could present challenges in providing individualized attention.
