Bennington

The Bennington school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Bennington Elementary School and Bennington High School. While Bennington Elementary has consistently strong academic performance, Bennington High School has seen more mixed results in recent years.

Bennington Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, with students scoring significantly above the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has also steadily improved its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools to the top 20% in the last several years. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, suggesting more individualized attention for students.

In contrast, Bennington High School has had more mixed performance, with its most recent statewide ranking placing it in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools. The school's test scores in 11th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics also lag behind the state averages. However, the high school does maintain a respectable four-year graduation rate of 80.1%. The significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school ($8,664 vs $15,228) is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation.
