Summary:
The city of Asher, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Asher Elementary School and Asher High School. While Asher Elementary consistently ranks in the top half of Oklahoma elementary schools, Asher High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom third of the state's high schools.
Asher Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students significantly outperforming the state average in 3rd and 4th-grade math proficiency. However, the school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced lunch rate of over 73%. In contrast, Asher High School faces challenges in academic achievement, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite these struggles, the high school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%.

Further investigation into the factors contributing to these differences could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district.
