Summary:
The city of Seiling, Oklahoma, is home to three schools: Seiling Elementary School, Seiling Junior-Senior High School (Jr), and Seiling Junior-Senior High School (Sr). These schools serve students from elementary through high school and are part of the Seiling school district.
Among the standout schools, Seiling Junior-Senior High School (Sr) has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 11th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023 to 196th out of 463 schools in 2024-2025. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% for the 2023-2024 school year, but it struggled in Mathematics and Science, with only 12% and 3% of 11th-grade students, respectively, being proficient or better, well below the state averages. In contrast, Seiling Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 156th out of 389 schools in 2023-2024 to 345th out of 614 schools in 2024-2025, and has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% in 2024-2025.
The data also reveals that all three schools in Seiling have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting that the community faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school and the other two schools may indicate a need to review the district's resource allocation and ensure equitable distribution of funds across all schools to support student success.
