Summary:
The city of Canadian, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Canadian Elementary School and Canadian High School. Both schools have seen a concerning decline in their state-wide rankings over the years, suggesting their performance may be worsening compared to other schools in the Canadian school district.
Canadian Elementary School has a student population of 308, with a majority White student body and a significant Native American population. The school has a high free/reduced lunch rate of nearly 80%, indicating a large economically disadvantaged student population. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the school's state-wide ranking has dropped from 73rd out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 243rd out of 646 in 2020-2021, a concerning trend.
Canadian High School, with 142 students, has also seen a decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 85th out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to 294th out of 439 in 2022-2023. The high school's academic performance, as measured by 11th grade proficiency rates, is quite low, with only 23.3% proficient in English Language Arts and 10% in Mathematics. While the school spends a relatively high amount per student, the resources do not appear to be translating into strong student outcomes.
