Cave Springs

The schools in Cave Springs, Oklahoma are struggling, with both Cave Springs High School and Cave Springs Elementary School ranking among the lowest in the state. The data paints a concerning picture, with low test scores, high poverty rates, and poor statewide rankings across both schools.

Neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both the high school and elementary school ranking in the bottom tier of Oklahoma schools. The high school ranked 439 out of 439 high schools in the state, while the elementary school ranked 911 out of 957 elementary schools. Test scores are dismal, with only 9.1% of 11th graders at the high school proficient or better in U.S. History, and no data available for the elementary school.

The schools also face significant challenges related to poverty and resource allocation. Both have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at over 66%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the elementary school spends more per student than the high school, the overall low performance suggests that resources are not being effectively utilized to improve educational outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues will require a comprehensive approach and a commitment to improving the quality of education in the Cave Springs district.
