Wapanucka

The Wapanucka school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Wapanucka Elementary School and Wapanucka High School. Both schools have seen a significant decline in their statewide rankings over the past decade, indicating a concerning trend of decreasing academic performance. However, the high school maintains a relatively strong four-year graduation rate, suggesting the school is able to provide support to help students complete their education.

Wapanucka Elementary School has experienced a dramatic drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 68th out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 to 743rd out of 957 in 2014-2015. Despite this decline, the school previously held strong performance ratings, including a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2010-2011 and a perfect 5-star rating in 2009-2010. The school currently has a high percentage of students (83.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Wapanucka High School has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 285th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 to 394th out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is quite low, with only 5.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2023-2024. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 80.1% in 2021-2022 is relatively high, suggesting that while academic performance may be lacking, the school is still able to graduate a majority of its students.
