Soper

The town of Soper, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Soper Elementary School and Soper High School. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share some concerning similarities, including low academic performance and high poverty rates among the student population.

Both Soper Elementary School and Soper High School have a very high percentage of Native American students, at 50.2% and 49.37% respectively. This reflects the demographics of the Soper community, but also suggests a need for culturally-responsive teaching practices and support services tailored to the needs of these students. Academically, both schools perform poorly, with Soper High School seeing only 20% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 5% in Mathematics, 4.8% in Science, and 28.6% in U.S. History - well below state averages.

The financial resources available to the two schools also differ, with Soper High School spending $12,085 per student compared to $8,754 per student at Soper Elementary School. However, this disparity in spending does not appear to be translating to better outcomes for high school students. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Soper are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students, and addressing the root causes of these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities available in the community.
