Summary:
The city of Bowlegs, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Bowlegs Elementary School and Bowlegs High School. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. However, the schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-level metrics across various measures, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and district rankings.
Neither Bowlegs Elementary School nor Bowlegs High School stand out as high-performing schools in the Bowlegs school district. Both schools are ranked 425 out of 452 in the state of Oklahoma and are rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The schools have consistently performed below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grades, with Bowlegs High School's proficiency rates being particularly low.
Despite the higher spending per student at Bowlegs High School compared to Bowlegs Elementary School, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the high school. Both schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly above the state average. The statewide school digger rank history shows that the schools have struggled to improve their performance over the past decade, with little to no progress in their rankings and star ratings.
