Summary:
The Dewey school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Dewey Elementary School, Dewey High School, and Dewey Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Native American students across all three schools.
Dewey High School stands out as the district's top performer, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 85 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This is a significant improvement from the previous year, where the school ranked 284 out of 350 high schools and received only a 1-star rating. Dewey Elementary School also performs well, with math proficiency rates above the state average in 3rd and 4th grades, though they drop below the state average in 5th grade.
The schools in Dewey face economic challenges, with around 50% or more of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor should be considered when analyzing the schools' performance and allocating resources. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Dewey High School compared to the elementary and middle schools may reflect the different educational needs and programs required at the high school level.
