Summary:
The Konawa Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Konawa area. The school has seen a significant decline in its performance over the years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 1-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year. This decline is reflected in the school's academic proficiency rates, which are substantially lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Konawa Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students (86.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which is significantly higher than the state average. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic performance issues observed at the school.
Despite the school's low per-student spending of $8,603 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is slightly lower than the state average, the academic outcomes at Konawa Elementary School remain a concern. The school's ranking has dropped from 153 out of 407 schools in 2016-2017 to 487 out of 614 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Targeted interventions and strategies may be necessary to address the unique challenges faced by the school and its community.
