Glencoe

The Glencoe school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Glencoe Elementary School and Glencoe High School. While Glencoe schools have seen a decline in their SchoolDigger ratings in recent years, there are some standout elements worth noting.

Glencoe Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 5th-grade math, where the proficiency rate of 44% is significantly higher than the state average of 27%. However, Glencoe High School faces challenges, with a concerning 0% proficiency rate in 11th-grade science, suggesting an area in need of improvement. The schools also differ in their student demographics and socioeconomic factors, with Glencoe Elementary having a higher rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school.

Interestingly, the spending per student is higher at Glencoe High School ($12,053) compared to Glencoe Elementary ($7,149), which may indicate a focus on resource allocation for the high school. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are lower at the high school (14.7) than the elementary school (19.9), potentially contributing to the differences in academic performance between the two schools.
