Summary:
The city of Achille, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Achille Elementary School and Achille High School, both of which serve students from the Achille school district. While the schools have shown improvement in their statewide rankings over the years, they still face challenges in academic performance and student engagement.
Achille Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking improve from 784th out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 255th out of 646 in 2020-2021, indicating progress. However, the school lags behind the state average in ELA and Math proficiency for all grades and 4th grade. Similarly, Achille High School has moved from 369th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 to 231st out of 463 in 2024-2025, a notable improvement, but still trails the state average in ELA and Math proficiency for 11th grade.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 73.16% for Achille Elementary and 68.12% for Achille High, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the high chronic absenteeism rates suggest there may be other factors impacting student engagement and achievement.
