Cave Springs

Summary:

The Cave Springs High School and Cave Springs Elementary School serve the Cave Springs area of Oklahoma. While the elementary school previously ranked in the top 5% of Oklahoma elementary schools, both schools have seen a significant decline in performance over time, now ranking in the bottom 5-10% statewide. This is reflected in their low proficiency rates on state assessments, with only 11% of high school students proficient in English Language Arts and just 2% proficient in Math.

The schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (19%) and a large majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (74.55% at the high school, 65.33% at the elementary). Per-student spending varies, with the elementary school spending significantly more ($15,689) compared to the high school ($10,425). However, the lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school (8.8 vs. 15.8 at the high school) does not appear to be translating to better academic results.

Overall, the data suggests systemic issues that have not been adequately addressed in the Cave Springs school district. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, high poverty, and declining rankings will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for students in the community.
