Savanna

The schools in Savanna, Oklahoma face significant challenges, with both Savanna Elementary School and Savanna High School consistently ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. The schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with nearly 30% of students identifying as such, and face high rates of economic disadvantage, with over 70% of elementary school students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the schools struggle, with only 21.4% of 11th-grade students at Savanna High School proficient in English/Language Arts and a mere 3.6% proficient in Mathematics. This low academic performance is reflected in the schools' 2-out-of-5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, there appears to be a funding disparity, with Savanna High School spending nearly $2,700 more per student than the elementary school, which may contribute to the differences in educational outcomes.

Despite the challenges faced by the schools in Savanna, the data suggests that addressing the issues of academic performance, economic disadvantage, and potential funding imbalances could be crucial for improving educational opportunities and outcomes for the students in this community. Targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to support the schools and ensure that all students in Savanna have access to a high-quality education.
