Tonkawa

The Tonkawa school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Tonkawa Elementary School, Tonkawa High School, and Tonkawa Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the Tonkawa community.

Among the three schools, Tonkawa Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with above-average test scores in 3rd grade ELA and 5th grade Science. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 may contribute to its academic success. However, its overall statewide ranking has fluctuated, indicating the need for continued improvement. In contrast, Tonkawa High School maintains a consistent 3-star rating and boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%, but struggles in 11th grade Math performance.

Across the district, all three schools face the challenge of high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.06% to 74.88%. This suggests a significant socioeconomic challenge and the need for targeted support and resources to address the needs of these students. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, from $6,739 at Tonkawa Elementary School to $10,855 at Tonkawa High School, may contribute to the varying academic performance and resource availability across the schools.
