Summary:
The city of Tishomingo, Oklahoma is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Tishomingo Elementary School, Tishomingo High School, and Tishomingo Middle School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Tishomingo High School stands out as the academic leader, ranking 156th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, U.S. History, and Science are all above the state average. In contrast, Tishomingo Elementary School and Tishomingo Middle School have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, suggesting the district as a whole faces challenges in improving academic outcomes.
Despite these challenges, the schools in Tishomingo have some bright spots, such as Tishomingo Middle School's strong 8th-grade science proficiency rate, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the district's low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 12.2 to 15.3, suggest a favorable learning environment. However, the district's high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 73.97% to 77.87%, highlight the economic needs of the community and the importance of targeted resources and support to address these unique challenges.
