Maud

The town of Maud, Oklahoma is home to two struggling schools - Maud Elementary School and Maud High School. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective statewide rankings, with low test scores, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Maud Elementary School has just 194 students and is ranked 792 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 0-star rating. The school struggles academically, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Maud High School, with 82 students, fares slightly better but is still ranked 398 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools, with a 1-star rating. Both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism at 19.0%.

The data suggests that the Maud school district as a whole is underperforming, with both the elementary and high school ranked in the bottom half of their respective statewide rankings. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 85% at both schools, indicate that the Maud community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the schools' poor performance. Addressing the root causes of the district's challenges will likely require a comprehensive, long-term strategy to improve student outcomes.
