Summary:
The Covington-Douglas school district in Oklahoma operates two schools: Covington-Douglas Elementary School and Covington-Douglas High School. The district serves a community facing economic challenges, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Covington-Douglas Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance, particularly in mathematics, where 75% of 3rd graders scored proficient or better, far exceeding the state average of 38%. The school has also shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 20% of Oklahoma elementary schools to the top 30% over the past decade. With a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, the elementary school appears to be effectively supporting its students.
While Covington-Douglas High School has a graduation rate above the state average at 82.2%, its academic performance lags slightly behind the state in core subjects. However, the high school has also improved its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 30% to the top 40% of Oklahoma high schools in recent years. The district's investment in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 11.5 and 13.3 at the elementary and high school, respectively, may be a contributing factor to their progress.
