Canadian

The Canadian school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Canadian Elementary School and Canadian High School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Native American students, and face challenges in maintaining academic excellence.

Canadian Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, dropping from a high of 73rd out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 243rd out of 646 in 2020-2021. In contrast, Canadian High School has experienced a more consistent decline, falling from 85th out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to 294th out of 439 in 2022-2023. Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

The academic performance at these schools is also a concern, with Canadian High School reporting only 23.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 10% in Mathematics. This suggests the schools may be struggling to prepare students for college and career readiness. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the declining rankings and low test scores indicate a need for targeted interventions and improvement strategies to address the challenges faced by the Canadian school district.
