Summary:
The city of Shattuck, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Shattuck Elementary School and Shattuck High School, both serving students in the Shattuck district. While Shattuck Elementary has consistently ranked highly in the state, earning a 5-star rating and exceeding state averages on recent standardized tests, Shattuck High School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 5-star to a 3-star rating in the past few years and scoring below state averages on 11th grade assessments.
Shattuck Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with 34th place ranking out of 411 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2018-2019 and strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 8th grade students. The school serves a diverse student population, with 72.65% White, 18.78% Hispanic, and 3.27% Native American students, and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 44.9%. In contrast, Shattuck High School has seen more fluctuation in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 3-star rating in the current 2022-2023 school year, and its test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History are below the state averages.
While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, Shattuck High School spends significantly more per student ($16,018) compared to Shattuck Elementary School ($11,024). This discrepancy in spending and the high school's declining performance suggest that further investigation may be needed to understand the factors contributing to the school's challenges and how resources can be better utilized to support student learning and outcomes.
