While the schools face challenges common to many in economically disadvantaged areas, there are also signs of progress and strengths worth highlighting.

Dewar High School stands out for its significant improvement in test scores, with the percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts and CCRA/Mathematics increasing from 7.9% and 0% respectively in the previous year to 18.9% and 13.5% in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be implementing effective strategies to support student learning. In contrast, Dewar Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking, though it has shown some improvement over the years, moving up from 777 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 484 out of 845 in 2009-2010.

All three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.59% at Dewar High School to 79.49% at Dewar Elementary School, indicating the community faces significant economic challenges. However, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting they may have the capacity to provide more individualized attention and support to their students. The variation in spending per student, from $5,995 at Dewar Elementary School to $12,447 at Dewar High School, could be an area for further investigation to understand the factors driving these differences.
