Summary:
The city of Garber, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Garber Elementary School and Garber High School, both of which serve students from the Garber school district. While the elementary school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 30-40% of Oklahoma elementary schools, the high school has also shown impressive results, particularly in its high graduation rate.
Garber Elementary School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and excels in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates above the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19% is an area that could use improvement. In contrast, Garber High School has earned a 5-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year and boasts an impressive 82.2% four-year graduation rate, significantly outperforming the state average. While the high school excels in English Language Arts, it struggles in Science, with only 13% proficiency compared to the state's 21%.
The data also reveals a significant funding disparity between the two schools, with Garber High School spending nearly twice as much per student as Garber Elementary School. Both schools also face the challenge of serving a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 70% at both campuses. This socioeconomic factor may present unique challenges and considerations for the schools in terms of resource allocation, academic support, and addressing the needs of their student populations.
