Summary:
The city of Union City, Oklahoma is home to two public schools - Union City Elementary School and Union City High School, both serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Based on the available data, the schools in the Union City school district appear to be underperforming compared to state-level metrics across multiple measures, including school rankings, test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Neither Union City Elementary School nor Union City High School stand out as high-performing institutions. The elementary school has consistently ranked between 270-514 out of 845-957 Oklahoma elementary schools over the past 15 years, with a current ranking of 398 out of 957. Similarly, the high school has ranked between 279-425 out of 431-463 Oklahoma high schools over the past 3 years, with a current ranking of 425 out of 463. Both schools are rated 0-3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
The academic performance of the schools is also a concern, with both the elementary and high school exhibiting significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. While the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, the overall underperformance of the district suggests a need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive, long-term approach to address the systemic challenges facing the schools in Union City.
