Summary:
The city of Waynoka, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Waynoka Elementary School and Waynoka High School. While both schools serve the Waynoka community, their performance and characteristics differ significantly.
Waynoka Elementary School stands out as the clear academic leader, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Oklahoma elementary schools and earning high ratings from SchoolDigger. With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and relatively high spending of $18,626 per student, the elementary school appears to be providing a quality education to its 158 students, the majority of whom are white. In contrast, Waynoka High School has had a more mixed performance history, ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools in recent years but previously near the bottom. The high school's academic proficiency rates, particularly in math, are concerning, with only 7.1% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better.
Overall, the data suggests that Waynoka is providing a strong educational experience at the elementary level, but the high school faces challenges in improving student learning outcomes. Ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation across the district, as well as targeted interventions to address the academic deficiencies at the high school, could be areas for the district to focus on to ensure all students in Waynoka have access to a high-quality education.
