Summary:
The city of Burns Flat, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Will Rogers Elementary School and Burns Flat-Dill City High School, both part of the Burns Flat-Dill City school district. While Will Rogers Elementary has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, reaching 283 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2020-2021, Burns Flat-Dill City High School has experienced a significant decline, dropping from 147 out of 439 high schools in 2022-2023 to 359 out of 431 in 2023-2024.
Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage (over 85%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community. Will Rogers Elementary spends $6,916 per student, while Burns Flat-Dill City High School spends $16,231 per student. The high school's academic performance is also a concern, with only 18.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.1% proficient or better in Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the challenges, Will Rogers Elementary has shown promise, with its statewide ranking improving over the years. However, both schools still have room for improvement in their academic outcomes, and the community's socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the educational challenges faced by the students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues and improve the overall educational experience for the children of Burns Flat.
