Coleman

The Coleman school district in Oklahoma has two schools: Coleman Elementary School and Coleman High School. While the elementary school has a relatively large enrollment of 174 students, the high school is much smaller with only 50 students.

Both schools face challenges in terms of academic performance. Coleman Elementary School has consistently received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Oklahoma elementary schools. The school also struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25%) and Mathematics (25%), which are below the state averages. In contrast, Coleman High School has had inconsistent performance, with a 3-star rating in 2024-2025 but only 1 star in previous years. The high school's proficiency rates are particularly concerning, with 0% of students proficient in Mathematics and only 41% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 18% and 37%, respectively.

Both schools also face high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 19%, which is well above the state average. Additionally, a large majority of students at both schools (83.91% at the elementary school and 78% at the high school) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. These socioeconomic challenges likely contribute to the schools' academic struggles and will require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
