Stroud

The Stroud, Oklahoma school district consists of three schools: Parkview Elementary School, Stroud High School, and Stroud Middle School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and provide a range of educational opportunities in the Stroud area.

Parkview Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, exceeding state averages in 4th grade math and 5th grade science proficiency. However, it also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 62.89%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Stroud High School has a lower percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at 44.14% and spends the most per student at $16,130, which may contribute to its higher state ranking.

The schools in the Stroud district have a predominantly white student population, with a notable Native American representation, particularly at Parkview Elementary School and Stroud Middle School. This diversity could be an area for further exploration, as it may impact educational experiences and outcomes. Additionally, the high-poverty schools, such as Parkview Elementary, may face unique challenges in supporting their students' academic and social-emotional needs, which could be an area for further investigation and support.
