Ada

The Ada school district in Oklahoma consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves students from pre-K through 12th grade and is located in the city of Ada.

Among the schools in the district, Ada High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 93 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has relatively high test scores, with 37% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20% proficient or better in Math. Additionally, the school boasts a strong 82.2% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Washington Elementary School has struggled in recent years, ranking 362 out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools and receiving a 0-star rating, despite having some bright spots in its Math test scores.

The district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 19.0%, and high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can indicate equity concerns. Additionally, the district's test scores in Math and English Language Arts are generally below the state averages, suggesting opportunities for improvement in these core academic areas. The district may benefit from learning from the successes of its high-performing schools and implementing best practices across the district to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
