Elementary Schools in Hugo

The Hugo area in Oklahoma is home to two elementary schools: Hugo Elementary School and Hugo Intermediate. Both schools serve students in the early grades and appear to be facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and other key metrics.

Based on the data, neither Hugo Elementary School nor Hugo Intermediate stand out as high-performing institutions. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8% of students at Hugo Elementary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 26%. Similarly, only 22% of students at Hugo Elementary School were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 19.0% of students being chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year.

The data also reveals that the schools in Hugo serve a predominantly low-income population, with both Hugo Elementary School and Hugo Intermediate having very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 89.73% and 91.72%, respectively. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the schools' challenges and lower academic performance. To address these issues, the Hugo school district may need to implement targeted interventions and support, such as increased funding, teacher professional development, and community engagement, to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for the students in the area.
