Summary:
The city of Hugo, Oklahoma is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in Hugo have a diverse student population, with significant percentages of Native American and African American students, the academic performance across the district is generally low, with proficiency rates well below state averages in core subjects.
Among the standout schools, Hugo Elementary School has the highest percentage of Native American students at 30.53%, but its academic performance is concerning, with only 23% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics. In contrast, Hugo High School has the lowest academic performance in the district, with proficiency rates as low as 4.2% in mathematics and 2.8% in science. The school's state-wide ranking has also declined significantly in recent years, from 269th out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 407th out of 439 in 2022-2023.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 77.74% at Hugo High School to 88.62% at Hugo Intermediate, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population in Hugo. This factor likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these schools, and it underscores the need for comprehensive support and resources to address the holistic needs of students in the district.
