Maryetta

Maryetta, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Maryetta Public School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 645 students. The school stands out for its high percentage of Native American students, consistently low statewide rankings, and high poverty rates among its student population.

Maryetta Public School has an exceptionally high percentage of Native American students at 81.24%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite this, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 297 out of 323 schools in the 2021-2022 school year. This low performance may be related to the school's high poverty rates, with 73.02% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage among the student body.

Academically, Maryetta Public School's 5th grade students perform slightly below the state average in math proficiency (22% vs. 27%) but slightly above the state average in science proficiency (37% vs. 35%). This suggests that while the school faces challenges in certain areas, it may have strengths in science education that could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes for its students.
