Summary:
The Burns Flat-Dill City area is home to two schools: Will Rogers Elementary School and Burns Flat-Dill City High School. While Will Rogers Elementary has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, reaching 283 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2020-2021, the high school has struggled, ranking 359 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in 2023-2024 with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Will Rogers Elementary School maintains a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 85.92%, and it spends $6,916 per student, which is below the state average. In contrast, Burns Flat-Dill City High School spends significantly more per student at $16,231, but it has very low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (18.2%) and Mathematics (6.1%) for the 2023-2024 school year. Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with the Burns Flat-Dill City district ranked 305 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and having a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data suggests that while Will Rogers Elementary School is making progress, the high school in the area is struggling academically, raising concerns about the quality of education and the preparedness of students for post-secondary opportunities. The significant funding disparities between the two schools and the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicate that the district may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success across all grade levels.
