Colcord

The Colcord School District in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Colcord Elementary School and Colcord High School. While Colcord Elementary School shows some strengths in early grade proficiency, both schools face significant academic challenges, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Colcord Elementary School has relatively high 3rd grade ELA and Math proficiency rates compared to the state average, indicating strong performance in the early grades. However, proficiency rates decline in the upper elementary grades, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining academic achievement as students progress. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which could be a contributing factor to the declining test scores.

At the high school level, Colcord High School struggles across the board, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in ELA, Math, Science, and U.S. History. The school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%, which is below the state average. Like the elementary school, Colcord High School also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which may be impacting academic performance. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with very high free/reduced lunch rates, which could further contribute to their academic challenges.
