Braggs

The small town of Braggs, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Braggs Elementary School and Braggs High School. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is concerning, with consistently low statewide rankings and significantly lower test scores compared to the state averages.

According to the data, Braggs Elementary School is ranked 690 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools, while Braggs High School is ranked 445 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools. This places both schools in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide. The test score data is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History that are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6% of Braggs Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state average of 26%.

The data also reveals high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, with 19% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025. This is a concerning statistic that likely contributes to the low academic performance. Additionally, the Braggs school district is ranked 447 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, further highlighting the systemic challenges facing the schools in this area. While the per-student spending at both schools is above the state average, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.
