Summary:
The city of Sasakwa, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Sasakwa Elementary School and Sasakwa High School, both serving students in the Sasakwa school district. These schools have faced significant challenges in recent years, with declining academic performance and rankings compared to other schools in the state.
Sasakwa Elementary School has seen a dramatic drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 160th out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 754th out of 957 in 2014-2015. Its current ranking is just 1 out of 5 stars. Similarly, Sasakwa High School has struggled, ranking 355th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools in 2024-2025 and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating. Both schools have very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Academically, both Sasakwa Elementary and Sasakwa High School have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and U.S. History compared to state averages. The schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively low graduation rates, suggesting that students are not receiving the support they need to succeed. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the schools' challenges.
