Best Public Schools in Dewar, OK

Summary:

The city of Dewar, Oklahoma is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Dewar Elementary School, Dewar High School, and Dewar Middle School. These schools face significant economic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all three campuses. While Dewar Elementary and Middle School maintain relatively stable performance, Dewar High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

Dewar High School's academic performance is a particular area of concern, with only 18.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts and 13.5% proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics. This low academic achievement is reflected in the school's dropping statewide ranking, which has fallen from 287 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in 2023-2024 to 422 out of 439 in 2022-2023. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 80.1% in 2021-2022 suggests that a majority of students are completing their high school education.

In contrast, Dewar Elementary School and Dewar Middle School appear to be performing more consistently, with lower student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student compared to the high school. These factors may contribute to the relatively stable performance of the elementary and middle schools within the Dewar school district. Addressing the economic challenges faced by the community and implementing targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement could be key areas of focus for the district to support the educational needs of all Dewar students.
