Arnett

The Arnett school district consists of two small, high-performing schools: Arnett Elementary School and Arnett High School. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top schools in the state of Oklahoma, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, and offer a personalized learning environment with low student-teacher ratios.

Arnett Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, ranking in the top 10% of Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 and the top 25% in 2010-2011. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, suggesting more individualized attention for students. In contrast, Arnett High School has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 6.4:1, creating an exceptionally personalized learning environment for its 46 students.

While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, they also have a significant proportion of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, with 35-37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The higher spending per student at the high school level, $28,818 compared to $18,663 at the elementary school, may be an effort to provide additional resources and support for these students. Overall, the Arnett school district offers a small, high-performing, and personalized educational experience, though there may be opportunities to further promote diversity and inclusion within the system.
