Hulbert

The Hulbert school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Hulbert Elementary School, Hulbert Junior-Senior High School (Sr), and Hulbert Middle School. These schools face significant challenges, with consistently low performance across key metrics compared to state averages.

Hulbert Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 241 students, but it struggles with very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (13%) and Mathematics (14%), as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 89.21%. In contrast, Hulbert Junior-Senior High School (Sr) has slightly better, but still low, proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27%) and Mathematics (7%), along with a 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%. The smallest school, Hulbert Middle School, has particularly low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (20%) and Mathematics (7%), as well as the lowest spending per student at $2,178.

The high poverty levels, as indicated by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, likely contribute to the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates observed. Additionally, the stark difference in spending per student between the elementary school and the middle school suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the Hulbert school district, which could be impacting the quality of education at the middle school level.
