Verden

The schools in Verden, Oklahoma serve students from elementary through high school, with Verden Elementary School and Verden High School providing education to the community. While Verden Elementary School stands out for its strong math performance, with 67% of 7th graders scoring proficient or better on state assessments, Verden High School struggles academically, with only 20.8% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in English, Science, and History, and 0% in Mathematics.

The data reveals a significant funding and resource disparity between the two schools, with Verden High School spending $4,590 more per student than Verden Elementary School. This could contribute to the stark contrast in academic performance, as both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high free and reduced-price lunch rates.

Overall, the schools in the Verden district show a concerning trend of declining performance over time, with both Verden Elementary School and Verden High School dropping in their statewide rankings. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the Verden community have access to a high-quality education.
