Summary:
The city of Glencoe, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Glencoe Elementary School and Glencoe High School, both part of the Glencoe school district. While Glencoe Elementary has consistently performed above state averages, Glencoe High School has struggled, with low test scores and graduation rates.
Glencoe Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two, ranking as high as 109th out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools and maintaining a 3-star rating in the most recent year. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, Glencoe High School has fluctuated in its statewide ranking, dropping as low as 337th out of 439 high schools before improving to 181st. Its test scores lag behind the district and state, with only 28% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4% in Mathematics.
Both schools face challenges, including high poverty levels with over 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0%. The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school ($7,149 vs. $12,053) may suggest imbalances in resource allocation that could be contributing to the performance disparities. Overall, the data paints a mixed picture for the Glencoe school district, with the elementary school performing reasonably well but the high school in need of significant improvement and support.
