Summary:
The Indianola school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Indianola Elementary School and Indianola High School. Both schools serve a student population with a high rate of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their free and reduced-price lunch rates exceeding 85%.
Indianola Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics proficiency, with 34% of students proficient compared to the state average of 26%. However, the school faces challenges, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a chronic absenteeism rate of 19%. In contrast, Indianola High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating for the past three years and achieved a graduation rate of 82.2%, which is above the state average.
The data also reveals a significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school, with the high school spending $13,012 per student compared to $9,524 per student at the elementary school. This disparity in resource allocation may be an area worth exploring to understand its potential impact on student outcomes across the district.
