Verden

The Verden school district in Oklahoma has two schools - Verden Elementary School and Verden High School. While the elementary school has strong math performance, the high school has seen an improvement in its state ranking in recent years.

Verden Elementary School stands out for its exceptional 7th grade math proficiency, with 67% of students achieving proficiency compared to the state average of 24%. This suggests the school is effectively delivering math instruction and supporting student learning in this subject area. In contrast, Verden High School has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.4%) and Mathematics (13.6%) for 11th grade students, indicating room for improvement in these academic areas.

While Verden High School had a lower ranking in the past, it has seen a significant improvement, now ranking 173 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in the 2023-2024 school year, up from 355 out of 439 the previous year. This suggests the school has made progress in enhancing its overall performance and quality. However, both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at Verden Elementary School (72.94%), which may have implications for the schools' resource needs and the support required to address the unique needs of their student populations.
