Summary:
The Bennington school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Bennington Elementary School and Bennington High School. While Bennington Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools, Bennington High School has struggled in recent years, dropping from a top 30 ranking to the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools.
Bennington Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two, with significantly above-average test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19%. In contrast, Bennington High School has lagged behind the state averages, particularly in Math. The high school's four-year graduation rate is 82.2%, which is lower than the state average.
Both schools serve a student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, indicating a lower-income community. While Bennington Elementary School spends $8,664 per student, Bennington High School spends significantly more at $15,228 per student. This funding allocation warrants further investigation to ensure resources are being utilized effectively across the district.
