Paoli

The Paoli school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Paoli Elementary School and Paoli High School. Both schools have shown improvement in their statewide rankings over the past few years, with Paoli Elementary moving from 1 star to 4 stars and Paoli High School improving from 1 star to 3 stars.

Paoli Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics, with 40% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 26%. However, the school has a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 87.04%, indicating a high-need student population. Paoli High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 82.2% compared to the state average, and its students excel in U.S. History, with 58% proficient or better, much higher than the state average of 42%.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Paoli Elementary at 9.3 and Paoli High School at 10.8, which may contribute to their academic performance. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools suggest a need for additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by the student population. Overall, the Paoli school district is making progress in improving the quality of education, but there is still work to be done to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
