Summary:
The city of Prue, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Prue Elementary School and Prue High School. While Prue Elementary has shown steady improvement over the past decade, becoming a top-performing school in the state, Prue High School has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma high schools.
Prue Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two, with its 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate more than three times the state average. The school has also improved its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 10% to the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade. In contrast, Prue High School has struggled, with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects compared to state averages.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with notable Native American and Hispanic representation. Additionally, the schools face significant economic challenges, with over 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Prue Elementary has made progress, the district as a whole must address the disparities between the two schools and work to provide a quality education for all students in the community.
