Summary:
The city of Apache, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Apache Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a rank of 353 out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 480 out of 646 schools in 2020-2021. In the 2024-2025 school year, Apache Elementary School is ranked 363 out of 614 schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science below the state and district Boone-Apache averages.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 84.92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the high poverty levels, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $7,801, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.2 for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a matter of resource allocation but rather the effective utilization of those resources to improve student outcomes.
Overall, Apache Elementary School faces challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing the needs of its low-income student population. The school's declining ranking and underperformance compared to state and district averages indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to help the school improve student learning and achievement.
