Summary:
The city of Colcord, Oklahoma is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Colcord Elementary School and Moseley Public School) and one high school (Colcord High School). These schools serve a diverse student population, with significant representation from Native American and White students, and face significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients across all three schools.
Colcord Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, outperforming the state average in 8th grade science proficiency and spending a relatively high amount of $12,670 per student. In contrast, Colcord High School has relatively low proficiency rates across all tested subjects, with the highest being 35.9% in English language arts. The district may need to re-evaluate its funding allocation to ensure equitable distribution of resources and support for all students.
The Colcord and Moseley school districts face significant challenges in supporting their diverse and high-need student populations. Addressing these challenges and disparities will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the community and the allocation of resources to support student success.
