Quinton

The Quinton school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Quinton Elementary School and Quinton High School. While the elementary school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, the high school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and academic performance over the years.

Quinton Elementary School has a very high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.63%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In contrast, Quinton High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 78th out of 251 Oklahoma high schools in 2015-2016 to 288th out of 431 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school's performance has deteriorated over time.

The Quinton school district as a whole is ranked 248th out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary school ($7,900) and the high school ($16,225) is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to ensure the funds are being used effectively to support student success.
