Tonkawa

The Tonkawa school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools - Tonkawa Elementary School, Tonkawa High School, and Tonkawa Middle School. While the elementary school shows some bright spots, the district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, with the middle school being the clear weakest performer.

Tonkawa Elementary School stands out with relatively higher proficiency rates in 5th grade science, but struggles in other subject areas compared to state averages. Tonkawa High School has seen fluctuating performance, ranking 181 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, but with mixed proficiency rates across subject areas. In contrast, Tonkawa Middle School is the clear underperformer, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of Oklahoma middle schools and with high free/reduced lunch rates.

The Tonkawa school district has a high percentage of Native American students, ranging from 20-23% across the schools. This could indicate a need to focus on supporting and meeting the needs of this student population. Additionally, spending per student varies significantly, with the high school spending over $4,000 more per student than the elementary school, which could be an area to investigate further.
