Summary:
The city of Hinton, Oklahoma is home to three schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. Based on the available data, Hinton Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with consistently higher test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 107 elementary schools in the state. In contrast, Hinton High School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a ranking of 208 out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 to 318 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating.
All three schools in the Hinton district have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.3% at the high school to 79.9% at the middle school, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The spending per student also varies significantly, with the high school spending $11,273 per student and the middle school spending $5,812 per student, a difference that may warrant further investigation.
Despite the challenges faced by the schools in the Hinton district, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement. The strong performance of Hinton Elementary School could serve as a model for the other schools in the district, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the declining performance at Hinton High School. By addressing these issues, the district can work to ensure that all students in Hinton have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
