Schools in Allen, OK

The city of Allen, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Allen Elementary School and Allen High School, both serving students in the Allen school district. While the elementary school has a higher statewide ranking and outperforms the state average in math, the high school struggles with math proficiency despite strong performance in English Language Arts. Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and serve a predominantly low-income student population.

Allen Elementary School is ranked 132 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in math proficiency, outperforming the state average across all grades. However, it faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%. In contrast, Allen High School is ranked 161 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools, with a 3-star rating. The high school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts for 11th grade, but struggles with math proficiency, with only 15% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 18%.

Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may impact academic performance and resource needs. Additionally, the high schools' relatively small enrollment of 127 students could affect course offerings and extracurricular activities. The data suggests opportunities for the district to address chronic absenteeism and ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students in the Allen school district.
