Summary:
The city of Porter, Oklahoma is home to two public schools - Porter Consolidated Elementary School and Porter Consolidated High School, both part of the Porter Consolidated school district. Based on the available data, the schools in Porter appear to be underperforming compared to state averages, with both the elementary and high school ranked well below the state average and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The elementary school has very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 14% and 21% of students meeting proficiency standards respectively. The high school also struggles academically, with just 30% proficient in English Language Arts and only 3% in Mathematics. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, which likely contributes to their poor academic performance. Additionally, the schools serve a high-poverty student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates over 67% at the high school and 78% at the elementary school.
Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the Porter Consolidated district has seen its schools' statewide rankings decline over the past several years, indicating that the district is not making significant progress in improving student outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement, will be crucial for the district to improve the quality of education for students in Porter.
