Pawnee

The Pawnee school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools - Pawnee Elementary School, Pawnee High School, and Pawnee Middle School. While the district faces some challenges, such as high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, there are also some standout performers, particularly at the high school level.

Pawnee High School stands out as the strongest school in the district, ranking in the top half of Oklahoma high schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. The school also boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%. In contrast, Pawnee Elementary School and Pawnee Middle School have had more mixed performance, with some subject areas exceeding state averages and others falling behind.

Across the district, high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggest a need for targeted support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the varying performance in test scores, with Pawnee Elementary School excelling in some subjects but struggling in others and Pawnee High School having particularly low Mathematics proficiency, indicates a need for a closer examination of curriculum, teaching methods, and resource allocation across the Pawnee school district.
