Best Public Schools in Boise City, OK

The city of Boise City, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Boise City Elementary School and Boise City High School, both part of the Boise City school district. While the high school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Oklahoma high schools, the elementary school faces challenges with low test scores and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism.

The data also reveals significant differences in funding and resources between the two schools. Boise City High School spends nearly $7,200 more per student than Boise City Elementary School, which may contribute to the high school's stronger performance.
