Summary:
The Blackwell school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Blackwell Elementary School, Blackwell High School, and Blackwell Middle School. The data reveals that Blackwell Elementary and Blackwell High are standout performers within the district, with strong academic achievement and graduation rates, respectively.
Blackwell Elementary School consistently outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for all grades in 2024-2025, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade. The school is ranked 156 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Blackwell High School maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% in 2023-2024 and outperformed the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 11th grade in 2024-2025.
However, the Blackwell district as a whole faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with all three schools having a rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average. Additionally, the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 74.64% to 83.98% across the schools. These factors may have implications for the schools' ability to allocate resources and provide additional support to students.
