Summary:
The city of Taloga, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Taloga Elementary School and Taloga High School, which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The data suggests that while the elementary school has had a mixed performance, the high school is a standout institution providing an excellent education to its students.
Taloga High School is ranked 2nd out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrate proficiency rates that are 32-53 percentage points higher than the state average across various subjects, and the school boasts an impressive 82.2% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Taloga Elementary School has had a more mixed performance, ranking between 251st and 906th out of Oklahoma elementary schools over the years, with proficiency rates ranging from 8 percentage points below to 16 percentage points above the state average.
Both schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by their high free/reduced lunch rates of 57.69% and 56.67%. However, the district's investment in resources, with spending per student at $21,306 for the elementary school and $40,808 for the high school, as well as the small student-teacher ratios, particularly at the high school level, appear to be contributing to the strong academic outcomes, especially at Taloga High School.
