Summary:
The city of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Fort Cobb-Broxton Lower Elementary School and Fort Cobb-Broxton High School, both part of the Fort Cobb-Broxton school district. The elementary school is performing well above the state average in 3rd grade math, ranking 114 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools, while the high school is struggling with low proficiency rates in core subjects and a relatively low 4-year graduation rate.
The Fort Cobb-Broxton Lower Elementary School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance, but both schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a high-need student population. This could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the high school, as students from low-income backgrounds often require additional support and resources to succeed.
The data also reveals a potential disconnect between the elementary and high school education, as the elementary school's performance is significantly better than the high school's. This suggests that students may not be adequately prepared for the academic rigor of high school. Additionally, the elementary school's ranking has dropped in recent years, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
