Summary:
The city of Healdton, Oklahoma is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of students from low-income families, the data reveals notable differences in their performance and trajectories.
Healdton Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, having significantly improved its state-wide ranking over the past decade. In contrast, Healdton High School has struggled, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and a consistently low state ranking. Healdton Middle School has seen an alarming decline, plummeting from the top 30% of Oklahoma middle schools to the bottom 5% in recent years.
Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 66-77%, suggest that the Healdton community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. This context is important when considering the schools' performance and the need for targeted interventions and support. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, with the high school spending significantly more than the elementary school, raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the Healdton school district.
