Summary:
The city of Park Hill, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Keys Elementary School and Keys High School, both part of the Keys school district. While Keys Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Oklahoma, Keys High School has struggled, with fluctuating rankings and low proficiency rates.
Keys Elementary School stands out as the academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 50 elementary schools in the state over the past three years. The school boasts strong test scores, with 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency rates well above the state average, and an impressive 62% of 5th-graders scoring proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 34%. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5.
In contrast, Keys High School has not performed as well, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 178 and 244 over the past three years, placing it in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools. The school's English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency rates are all low, despite having a student-teacher ratio of 14.7. The high free and reduced-price lunch rates at both schools, over 70%, suggest that the district may face funding challenges that could impact the resources and support available to students.
