Ripley

The schools in Ripley, Oklahoma consist of Ripley Elementary School and Ripley High School, serving students from elementary through high school. While Ripley Elementary School shows some academic strengths, the district's high school struggles with proficiency, particularly in college and career readiness assessments.

Ripley Elementary School outperforms the state average in several key areas, including 5th grade English Language Arts, 5th and 6th grade Mathematics, and 5th and 8th grade Science. However, the school's overall statewide ranking of 225 out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest there is still room for improvement. In contrast, Ripley High School is a lower-performing school, ranking 386 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, with struggling proficiency rates in 11th grade college and career readiness assessments.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their high free and reduced lunch rates of over 60%. This may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources to ensure these students have the necessary opportunities to succeed. Additionally, the notable difference in spending per student between the elementary school ($7,959) and the high school ($12,563) is an area that warrants further investigation to understand its potential impact on educational experiences and outcomes.
