Summary:
The city of Texhoma, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Texhoma Elementary School and Texhoma High School, both serving the Texhoma school district. The data reveals that Texhoma Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools and boasting impressive math proficiency rates. Meanwhile, Texhoma High School has shown significant improvement, moving from the bottom 25% to the top 30% of Oklahoma high schools in recent years and maintaining a relatively high graduation rate.
Texhoma Elementary School's academic success is likely attributed to its low student-teacher ratio of 19.5, which may contribute to the school's ability to provide individualized attention. The school's 8th grade math proficiency rate of 60% and 7th grade math proficiency rate of 43% are both significantly higher than the state averages. In contrast, Texhoma High School's test scores, while improving, still lag behind state averages, with only 31.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.1% proficient or better in Math.
Both Texhoma Elementary School and Texhoma High School serve a significant population of students from low-income families, as evidenced by their relatively high free and reduced lunch rates. The higher spending per student at the high school level ($11,766) compared to the elementary school ($6,715) may be an effort to provide additional resources and support for these students. Overall, the data suggests that Texhoma's schools are making strides in providing quality education, but there is still room for improvement, particularly in addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
