The Oklahoma Connections Academy (Charter) district operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. These schools serve students across various grade levels and provide educational opportunities in the Oklahoma area.
The standout school in the district is the Oklahoma Connections Academy High School, which has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state and maintained a 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% for the 2021-2022 school year. In contrast, the Oklahoma Connections Academy Elementary School and Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School have lower statewide rankings and test scores, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at the lower grade levels.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with the elementary school having the highest spending per student at $8,360, while the middle school has the lowest at $5,001. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools have higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance. By addressing these disparities and sharing best practices from the high-performing high school, the district can work towards providing a more consistent and equitable educational experience for all students within the Oklahoma Connections Academy (Charter) district.
