Stuart

The town of Stuart, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Stuart Elementary School and Stuart High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and reflect the unique demographics and challenges of the Stuart school district.

While Stuart Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of Native American students at 40%, both schools face significant economic disadvantages, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these student populations. Academically, Stuart High School has struggled, with only 16.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 5.6% proficient or better in Mathematics, well below state averages.

Despite these challenges, the schools in Stuart have shown some signs of progress, with Stuart Elementary School improving its state ranking over time. However, the declining performance of Stuart High School in recent years suggests the need for a closer examination of the district's educational strategies and resource allocation to ensure all students in Stuart have access to a high-quality education.
