Summary:
The Bokoshe school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Bokoshe Elementary School and Bokoshe High School. Both schools are struggling, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low statewide rankings compared to other schools in Oklahoma.
Bokoshe Elementary School has very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (8%) and Mathematics (6%), well below the state average of 26% for both subjects. Bokoshe High School also has low proficiency rates, with 24% in English Language Arts, 3% in Mathematics, and 14% in Science, all significantly below the state averages. Both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which is much higher than the state average.
The schools in Bokoshe also face significant economic challenges, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates of 97.73% at the elementary school and 93.62% at the high school. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools are still struggling to provide quality education to their students. This suggests that the issue may not be solely about funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to address the unique needs of the Bokoshe community.
