Summary:
The Chattanooga school district in Oklahoma serves two schools - Chattanooga Elementary School and Chattanooga High School. This rural district is performing above average compared to other districts in the state, ranking 119 out of 452 districts and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Chattanooga High School stands out with relatively strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts where 52% of 11th graders scored proficient or better compared to the state average of 37%. The high school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Chattanooga Elementary School has seen improvements in its state ranking over time, moving from 532 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 414 out of 957 in 2014-2015.
Both schools face challenges common to rural, low-income districts, including high free/reduced lunch rates and chronic absenteeism. Chattanooga spends more per student at the high school level ($15,193) compared to the elementary school ($8,011), which may help support its stronger academic performance. Overall, the district appears to have some bright spots, particularly at the high school, but also areas for improvement, such as addressing attendance issues across both campuses.
