Summary

Straight Public School is a small elementary school in Guymon, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-6 with just 29 students. Despite its small size, the school has shown relatively strong academic performance, outpacing the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the OSTP assessments. One key factor contributing to the school's success may be its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 6.5 to 7.4 students per teacher, significantly lower than nearby schools.

However, Straight Public School has also faced some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.8% in 2023-2024 to 19.0% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 46.15% to 60.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Despite these challenges, the school's academic performance remains strong, with students outperforming their peers at nearby schools like Hooker Elementary School and Academy Elementary School.

Interestingly, while Straight Public School's academic performance is commendable, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 437 out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 to 218 out of 614 in 2024-2025. This could be due to factors beyond just academic achievement, such as changes in the state's assessment system or the performance of other schools. Additionally, the school's high spending per student, at $21,033 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggests that the school is investing significant resources into supporting its students, though it will be important to ensure that these funds are being utilized effectively.
