Bishop

Bishop, Oklahoma is home to a single public school, Bishop Public School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial/ethnic breakdown that is representative of the overall student population in Oklahoma. Academically, Bishop Public School outperforms the state average in several key areas, particularly in math proficiency, but faces some economic challenges due to a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Bishop Public School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state exams, is mixed compared to the state averages. In 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts, the school scored 38% proficient or better, which is above the state averages of 29% and 26%, respectively. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34% in 6th grade to 45% in 4th grade, all of which were above the state averages. This suggests the school is doing a good job of preparing its students for success on standardized tests.

Despite the school's academic strengths, it faces some economic challenges due to the high percentage of students (65.44%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population. The school's funding, at $7,072 per student, is slightly below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 21.1 is on par with the typical ratio in Oklahoma schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, which warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors driving these changes.
