Summary:
The city of Sallisaw, Oklahoma is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a community facing significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates across the district.
Within the Sallisaw school district, there are a few standout performers. Central High School has consistently ranked among the top 106-145 high schools in Oklahoma over the past 3 years, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It boasts a strong 80.1% four-year graduation rate and relatively high test scores, with over 50% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. Similarly, Sallisaw High School has also performed well, ranking between the top 94-128 high schools in the state and maintaining a solid 80.1% four-year graduation rate.
However, the district as a whole is performing moderately, with a ranking of 155 out of 342 in Oklahoma and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. One area of concern is the noticeable gap in math proficiency rates compared to English Language Arts proficiency rates, particularly at the high school level. This could be an opportunity for the Sallisaw, Brushy, and Central school districts to focus on improving student outcomes in mathematics.
