Summary:
There is only one high school located in Bennington, Oklahoma - Bennington High School. While the school received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year, its performance has since declined, with the school now ranked as a 2-star institution in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, placing it in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools.
Bennington High School serves a small student population of 88 students and has a graduation rate of 82.2% in 2023-2024. However, the school faces challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025 and underperformance in core academic subjects. In English Language Arts, only 20% of 11th-grade students and 37% of all students are proficient or better, compared to state averages of 37% and 26%, respectively. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 16% of 11th-grade students and 35% of all students are proficient or better, compared to state averages of 18% and 26%. The school's performance in Science and U.S. History is also below the state averages.
Despite the school's higher spending per student of $15,228 in 2018-2019 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 in 2023-2024, these factors do not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. Additionally, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Bennington High School serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
