Summary:
The city of Stratford, Oklahoma is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The schools in this Stratford school district include Stratford Elementary School, Stratford Middle School, and Stratford High School. While the district faces challenges with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals some standout academic performance, particularly at the middle school level.
Stratford Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the state. In 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, the school was ranked 23rd and 35th out of over 200 Oklahoma middle schools, respectively, and has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school outperforms the state average in mathematics proficiency for 7th and 8th grade students. In contrast, Stratford High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, but has maintained a strong 4 or 5-star rating in recent years.
Across the district, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.89% at the high school to 72.2% at the elementary school, suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may have implications for the schools' resource allocation and the challenges they face in supporting their students. However, the data also reveals that Stratford High School spends the most per student at $11,522, potentially indicating greater access to resources and opportunities for its students.
