Summary:
The schools in the city of Haworth, Oklahoma, serve students from elementary through high school, with one Haworth Elementary School, one Haworth High School, and one Haworth Middle School. The data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to the state average, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories in Oklahoma.
Haworth Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing of the three, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Oklahoma elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 4th and 5th-grade math and science proficiency. However, the school still faces challenges, with a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating significant economic challenges within the community. In contrast, Haworth High School and Haworth Middle School are both ranked in the bottom 30% and 25% of their respective categories, struggling with low proficiency rates and fluctuating rankings over the years.
Despite the overall low performance, Haworth High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%, suggesting that the school may be doing something right in terms of supporting students to complete their high school education. However, the high poverty levels, as evidenced by the 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate across all three schools, indicate that the Haworth community faces significant economic challenges that may be contributing to the schools' low performance. Further investigation into the root causes and strategies being employed to address these issues could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in the area.
