Summary:
The city of Catoosa, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Catoosa High School and Wells Middle School. Both schools are part of the Catoosa school district and serve students from grades 9-12 and 6-8, respectively. However, the data suggests that these schools are underperforming compared to other schools in Oklahoma.
Neither Catoosa High School nor Wells Middle School stand out as top-performing schools in the state. Catoosa High School ranked 314 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating, while Wells Middle School ranked 284 out of 369 Oklahoma middle schools, with a 1-star rating. Both schools have seen their rankings decline over the past few years, indicating that the district may be facing challenges in providing quality education to its students.
The data also reveals that both schools have relatively low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, significantly below the state averages. Additionally, both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the Catoosa community may have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the overall performance metrics suggest that factors such as curriculum, teaching quality, and resource allocation may be more significant contributors to the schools' challenges.
