Jay

The Jay school district in Oklahoma consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a district facing significant academic challenges, with most schools performing below the state average on standardized tests.

Among the standout schools, Jay Middle School ranks the highest in the district, ranking 105 out of 189 Oklahoma middle schools. This school also has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance. Meanwhile, Jay High School has shown improvement in recent years, moving from a 0-star rating to a 2-star rating, and boasting an 80.1% four-year graduation rate.

However, the district as a whole struggles with low test scores, with all schools performing below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. This is likely a reflection of the high poverty levels in the district, as indicated by the high free and reduced lunch rates across all schools. The significant differences in per-student spending across the schools may also suggest funding disparities within the district, which could further contribute to the academic challenges.
