Summary:
The city of Barnsdall, Oklahoma is home to three schools: Barnsdall Elementary School, Barnsdall High School, and Barnsdall Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the Barnsdall school district.
Barnsdall Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 108 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping to a 1-star rating by 2020-2021. Despite this, the elementary school still outperforms the state average in 3rd-grade math proficiency. In contrast, Barnsdall High School struggles with low test scores, with only 13.2% and 2.6% of 11th-graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math, respectively, in 2023-2024. However, the high school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%.
Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 55.56% to 66.2%. This suggests that the Barnsdall school district serves a high-need student population, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and support student success throughout the district.
