Wapanucka

The schools in Wapanucka, Oklahoma consist of Wapanucka Elementary School and Wapanucka High School, serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals concerning trends, with Wapanucka Elementary School experiencing a dramatic decline in its statewide ranking and Wapanucka High School consistently ranking in the bottom 35% of Oklahoma high schools.

Both schools serve a majority white student population, with significant Native American representation as well. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates, 77.95% at the elementary level and 64.86% at the high school level, indicate a substantial economically disadvantaged student population. This is further reflected in the poor academic performance at Wapanucka High School, where only a small percentage of students are proficient in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data suggests that factors beyond class size, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the Wapanucka school district. Addressing these underlying issues and providing targeted support for the economically disadvantaged student population may be necessary to improve educational outcomes in the community.
