The schools in Tipton, Oklahoma are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. The district has two schools - Tipton Elementary School and Tipton High School - both of which are performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Tipton Elementary School has an enrollment of 154 students and is ranked 396 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. The school has a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 76.62%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Despite the low performance, Tipton High School maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 80.1%. This could suggest that the school is providing support to help students graduate, even if they are not achieving high academic proficiency. The higher spending per student at Tipton High School ($11,128) compared to Tipton Elementary School ($8,483) is an interesting difference, but it's unclear if this additional spending is translating to better outcomes for high school students.
