Summary:
The Braggs area of Oklahoma has only one high school, Braggs High School, which serves a small student population of just 44 students. The school's student body is predominantly White (45.45%) and Native American (38.64%), with a high percentage (81.82%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community.
Academically, Braggs High School has struggled in recent years, with only 10% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in core subjects. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 93rd out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 395th out of 439 high schools in 2022-2023, with a current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's academic challenges, it spends approximately $12,722 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1.
The dramatic decline in Braggs High School's performance and ranking over the past decade suggests significant challenges that will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the students and improve the school's overall quality and outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's diverse racial makeup, with a significant Native American population, highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the unique cultural and educational needs of the community served by Braggs High School.
