Summary:
The Oologah-Talala school district in Oklahoma consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district's standout performer is Oologah-Talala High School, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools and outperforms the state average on standardized tests. In contrast, the district's middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, suggesting a need for improvement at that level.
The Oologah-Talala Lower Elementary School also stands out, ranking in the top 18% of Oklahoma elementary schools and spending more per student than the Oologah-Talala Upper Elementary School. The district's schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation and a higher percentage of students identifying as two or more races at the high school and lower elementary school levels. However, the district faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Overall, the Oologah-Talala school district has several strengths, particularly at the high school level, but also faces some areas for improvement, such as addressing the variation in elementary school performance and the decline in middle school rankings. Addressing these challenges through targeted programs and support services could help the district maintain and improve its educational quality for all students.
