Summary:
The city of Randlett, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Big Pasture Elementary School and Big Pasture High School, both part of the Big Pasture school district. While Big Pasture Elementary has consistently performed well, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Big Pasture High School has seen a significant decline in its ranking and performance over the years.
Big Pasture Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 58th out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 and maintaining a 5-star rating. The school's students perform well on state assessments, with 36% of 3rd graders proficient or better in mathematics, exceeding the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which can be beneficial for student learning.
In contrast, Big Pasture High School, once ranked 1st out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011, has since declined significantly, placing 187th out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 with a 3-star rating. The school's four-year graduation rate of 80.1% is below the state average, and student performance on state assessments is also below average, with only 27.3% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 18.2% in Mathematics. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at both schools, as indicated by their high free and reduced lunch rates.
