Coalgate

The Coalgate school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Emerson Elementary School, Coalgate High School, and Wallace Byrd Middle School. The data indicates that these schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Emerson Elementary School stands out as the lowest-performing, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and only 18% of students proficient or better in ELA and 15% in Math. Coalgate High School and Wallace Byrd Middle School also have low test scores, with only 23% and 6% proficiency in ELA and Math, respectively. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, which may be contributing to their academic struggles.

Despite the high spending per student at Wallace Byrd Middle School and Coalgate High School, the data suggests that the district as a whole is not effectively translating resources into improved academic outcomes. The Coalgate school district is ranked 356 out of 452 in Oklahoma and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in providing quality education to its students.
