Summary:
The Healdton school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Healdton Elementary School, Healdton High School, and Healdton Middle School. The data shows that these schools are consistently performing below the state average on key metrics like test scores, statewide rankings, and chronic absenteeism rates.
Across all three Healdton schools, proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, Healdton Elementary School had only 12% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 26%. Healdton High School also struggled, with only 28% proficient in 11th grade ELA (state average 37%) and 9% proficient in 11th grade Math (state average 18%). Additionally, the schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19% at all three schools, well above the state's target of 10%.
The data also reveals that the Healdton schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 72.15% at Healdton High School to 76.79% at Healdton Elementary School. This socioeconomic challenge, combined with the schools' limited resources as evidenced by the below-average spending per student and high student-teacher ratios, likely contributes to the district's ongoing academic struggles. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the Healdton school district.
