Copan

The Copan school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Copan Elementary School and Copan High School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile or half of schools in the state, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to students in the Copan area.

Copan Elementary School has a statewide rank of 403 out of 406 elementary schools in 2017-2018, improving slightly in recent years but still performing below average. Copan High School has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 237 out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 320 out of 431 in 2023-2024. Both schools are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting below-average performance across a range of metrics.

The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage in the Copan district, with 77.3% of Copan Elementary students and 68.97% of Copan High students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that a significant portion of the student population faces challenges related to poverty, which may contribute to the schools' academic struggles. While per-student spending is higher at the high school level, this does not appear to be translating into better outcomes, as proficiency rates in core subjects at Copan High School have dropped to very low levels in recent years.
