Summary:
The city of Texhoma, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Texhoma Elementary School and Texhoma High School, both part of the Texhoma school district. While the elementary school has shown some strong performance, the high school faces more significant challenges.
Texhoma Elementary School has ranked as high as 142 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 4-star rating, and has outperformed the state average in 7th-grade mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Texhoma High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, with low test scores across multiple subject areas. The high school also has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 71.79%, suggesting it may be serving a more socioeconomically disadvantaged population.
The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school ($11,766 vs. $6,715) raises questions about the Texhoma school district's resource allocation and whether the high school is receiving adequate funding to support student success. Additionally, the relatively high Hispanic student population at both schools (over 50%) suggests the community may be experiencing demographic changes that the schools need to address.
