Summary:
The town of Asher, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Asher Elementary School and Asher High School. While Asher Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the years, Asher High School has struggled, with a lower ranking and underperformance in several subject areas compared to state averages.
Asher Elementary School stands out for its above-average performance in 4th grade math proficiency, but it also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Asher High School underperforms the state average in several subject areas, has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate, and also struggles with high chronic absenteeism.
The data suggests that the Asher community faces significant economic challenges, which may be impacting student performance and engagement across both the elementary and high school levels. Addressing these issues, particularly at the high school, should be a priority to improve the overall educational outcomes for students in Asher.
