Summary:
The city of Colcord, Oklahoma is home to three schools: two elementary schools, Colcord Elementary School and Moseley Public School, as well as one high school, Colcord High School. The area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools.
Colcord Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 188 out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Colcord High School struggles academically, with only 23% of 11th-graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 8% proficient in Mathematics. Moseley Public School, despite showing improvement over time, also lags behind the state average in academic performance.
The funding allocation across the district appears to be a concern, with Colcord Elementary School spending significantly more per student than Colcord High School. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 19% across all three schools likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by the district.
