Porter Consolidated

The Porter Consolidated school district in Oklahoma has two schools: Porter Consolidated Elementary School and Porter Consolidated High School. The district serves a student population with a high percentage of Native American and economically disadvantaged students, presenting unique challenges for the schools.

The elementary school has seen fluctuating performance, with its state-wide ranking ranging from 450 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 509 out of 646 in 2020-2021. The school has a high free and reduced lunch rate of 72.29%, indicating significant economic challenges for its student population. In contrast, the high school has experienced a concerning decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 51 out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 261 out of 439 in the most recent year. The high school's academic performance is also quite low, with only a small percentage of students proficient in core subjects.

Both schools have a significantly higher percentage of Native American students compared to the state average, suggesting the need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems to ensure the success of this student population. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, exceeding 60% at the high school and 70% at the elementary school, highlight the economic challenges faced by a large portion of the student body. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes and supporting the diverse needs of the students in the Porter Consolidated school district.
