Summary:
The city of Roland, Oklahoma is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Roland Elementary School, Roland High School, and Roland Middle School. While the elementary and middle schools show promising performance, the high school faces academic challenges, and the district as a whole serves a high-need student population.
Roland Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, it serves a high-need student population with a very high free and reduced lunch rate of 91.57%. Roland Middle School also performs well, outperforming the state average in Mathematics proficiency, and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Like the elementary school, it serves a high-need student population with a free and reduced lunch rate of 77.01%.
In contrast, Roland High School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is despite having the highest spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. The significant differences in performance between the elementary/middle schools and the high school indicate a potential need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these disparities, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or resource allocation.
