Summary:
The city of Duncan, Oklahoma is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. While the district as a whole has room for improvement, a few standout schools, such as Plato Elementary School and Empire High School, are consistently among the top-performing schools in the state.
Plato Elementary School is a shining example, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Woodrow Wilson Elementary School struggles, with a high free and reduced lunch rate of 91.67% and lower academic performance. The district's middle schools also vary in quality, with Empire Middle School standing out with a 4-star rating and a lower student-teacher ratio.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role in student outcomes across the Duncan and Empire school districts. The district's leaders have an opportunity to collaborate and share resources to address these disparities and ensure that all students in the area have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background.
