Summary:
The city of Barnsdall, Oklahoma is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Barnsdall Elementary School, Barnsdall High School, and Barnsdall Middle School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation ranging from 30% to 42% across the three campuses.
Barnsdall Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with 61% of its 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, far exceeding the state average of 34%. However, Barnsdall High School struggles academically, with proficiency rates in 11th-grade English, Mathematics, and Science falling well below the state averages. The student-teacher ratios at all three schools are above the state average, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed at the high school level.
Regarding resource allocation, Barnsdall High School receives a higher level of funding per student ($8,624) compared to Barnsdall Elementary School ($7,439), suggesting a focus on supporting the high school. However, this increased funding does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes, highlighting the need for further analysis and potential improvement initiatives across the Barnsdall school district.
