Summary:
Bishop, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Bishop Public School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 134th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 223rd out of 389 in 2023-2024.
Bishop Public School's academic performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others fall below. In 2024-2025, the school had 32% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 29% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 26% and 26%, respectively. The school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.61% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025.
Despite these challenges, Bishop Public School has a student-teacher ratio of 19.1 in 2023-2024 and per-student spending of $7,072 in the 2018-2019 school year. The school's performance and resource allocation suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement, and the Bishop school district may need to consider additional support and strategies to help the school maintain consistent academic achievement and address the needs of its student population.
