Oilton

The town of Oilton, Oklahoma is home to two schools - J.F. Kennedy Elementary School and Oilton High School. Both schools have seen declining performance over time, with low rankings and ratings compared to other schools in the state.

J.F. Kennedy Elementary is ranked 241st out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools, but has since dropped to a 1-star rating. Oilton High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, also with a 1-star rating. Both schools serve a community facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Oilton High School spends more per student than the elementary school, test scores and graduation rates remain low, suggesting the additional funding may not be effectively utilized.

With small school sizes of just 174 students at the elementary school and 82 students at the high school, the Oilton school district appears to be quite small, which could present unique challenges and opportunities. Overall, the data indicates that the Oilton schools are struggling and may need to implement significant improvements to better support student success.
