Mooreland

The Mooreland school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Mooreland Elementary School and Mooreland High School. While Mooreland High School is a standout performer, ranking 77th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 4-star rating, the elementary school lags behind, ranking 294th out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools with only a 3-star rating.

Mooreland High School boasts a strong 82.2% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average on several key test metrics, including 45% proficiency in 11th grade English Language Arts (vs. 37% statewide) and 26% proficiency in 11th grade Math (vs. 18% statewide). The high school also stands out for its 71% proficiency rate in 11th grade U.S. History, far exceeding the 42% state average. In contrast, Mooreland Elementary School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 5th and 8th grade math and science, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%.

The data also reveals a significant funding disparity between the two schools, with Mooreland High School spending $15,371 per student compared to $7,328 per student at the elementary school. This, along with the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools (47.33% at the elementary and 44.94% at the high school), suggests the Mooreland community faces economic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement. Addressing these systemic issues and aligning resources and support across the district could help improve outcomes for all Mooreland students.
