Carney

The Carney school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Carney Elementary School and Carney High School. Both schools have consistently low statewide rankings, indicating they are underperforming compared to other schools in Oklahoma. The data suggests the Carney area faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Carney Elementary School has seen its ranking fluctuate over the years, from a high of 236 out of 846 in 2010-2011 to a low of 837 out of 957 in 2014-2015. Its current ranking of 215 out of 646 elementary schools in Oklahoma places it in the bottom third of the state. Carney High School has remained relatively low-ranked, ranging from 315 out of 449 in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 354 out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024.

Both schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 80%, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Carney High School has low proficiency rates in core subjects, with only 18.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ELA and 6.3% in Math. This indicates that students may not be receiving the necessary support to succeed academically, despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools.
