Summary:
The Paden school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Paden Elementary School and Paden High School. While the high school appears to be performing reasonably well academically, the elementary school is struggling with significantly lower test scores compared to the state average.
Paden High School has higher proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts (48% vs 37%) and U.S. History (38% vs 42%) for 11th grade students, suggesting the high school is performing relatively well. In contrast, Paden Elementary School has proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the state average in English Language Arts (11% vs 26%), Mathematics (7% vs 26%), and Science (23% vs 30%) across all grades, indicating the elementary school may be an area of concern.
The Paden school district is relatively small, with Paden Elementary having 149 students and Paden High having 56 students. Both schools have a 19% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state would likely prefer, and very high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting significant economic challenges in the community.
