Best Public Schools in Howe, OK

Summary:

The city of Howe, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Howe Elementary School and Howe High School, both serving students in the Howe school district. While Howe Elementary has consistently performed well above the state average, Howe High School has struggled to meet academic benchmarks.

Howe Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking as high as 84th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. The school boasts impressive mathematics and science proficiency rates, with over 50% of students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.9, which may contribute to its academic success.

In contrast, Howe High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, reaching as low as 185th out of 307. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History all fall below the state averages. This discrepancy between the elementary and high school performance within the same district suggests the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve outcomes at the high school level.
