Summary:
The city of Beggs, Oklahoma is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Beggs Elementary School, Beggs High School, and Beggs Middle School. While Beggs Elementary School consistently ranks among the top in the state, the middle and high schools in the district face significant challenges, with lower academic performance and rankings.
Beggs Elementary School stands out as the district's academic standout, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed state averages. In contrast, Beggs High School and Beggs Middle School have lower rankings and proficiency rates, with only 26.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 6.7% in Mathematics at the high school level.
The student population across the Beggs schools is predominantly White, with significant Native American and multi-racial representation, but relatively low percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 63.9% to 72.47%, suggest the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges in terms of resource allocation and academic support. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students should be a priority for the Beggs school district.
