Summary:
The city of Fort Towson, Oklahoma is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Fort Towson Elementary School, Fort Towson High School, and Fort Towson Junior High School. While the schools face challenges with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, there are some standout metrics worth noting.
Fort Towson Junior High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 226 out of 369 Oklahoma middle schools and having the best science proficiency rates. Fort Towson High School also has a relatively high graduation rate of 82.2%, despite its low overall statewide ranking. However, the district as a whole performs significantly below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with the elementary and high school being the lowest performers.
Across the Fort Towson school district, there are high levels of economic disadvantage, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, suggests significant challenges in providing quality education to the student population. The district will need to address these issues to improve student outcomes and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
