Achille

The town of Achille, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Achille Elementary School and Achille High School. While the elementary school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 10% to the top 40% of Oklahoma elementary schools, the high school has experienced significant fluctuations, going from the top 5% to the bottom 15% of Oklahoma high schools within just two years.

Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates of 73.16% at the elementary school and 68.12% at the high school. This socioeconomic factor may have implications for the schools' resources and academic support. Interestingly, the per-student spending at Achille High School ($15,716) is significantly higher than that of Achille Elementary School ($9,127), which could contribute to the observed disparities in academic performance between the two schools.

The academic performance at Achille High School is a particular concern, with only 30.8% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 7.7% proficient or better in Mathematics. This low proficiency rate suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Overall, the data highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the schools' performance and the implementation of strategies to address the identified challenges.
