Summary:
The schools in Glencoe, Oklahoma consist of Glencoe Elementary School and Glencoe High School, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While the elementary school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Oklahoma elementary schools, the high school has faced some academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and science proficiency.
Glencoe Elementary School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 4th and 5th grades, but it also has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 76.13%, indicating a high-need student population. In contrast, Glencoe High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from 181 out of 431 in 2023-2024 to 337 out of 439 in 2022-2023, and struggles with proficiency in Mathematics and Science, with only 6.9% and 0% proficiency, respectively, in 2023-2024.
The difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school ($7,149 vs. $12,053) may indicate a need to examine the distribution of resources and ensure equitable funding across grade levels. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools suggest that the Glencoe community faces economic challenges, which may impact student performance and resource allocation.
