Summary:
The Preston school district in Oklahoma serves students from elementary through high school. The district has two schools: Preston Elementary School and Preston High School. While Preston High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 12.5% of Oklahoma high schools, Preston Elementary School has more modest results compared to state averages.
Preston High School is a strong performer, ranking 58th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has an 82.2% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average, and its students outperform the state average on OSTP tests across multiple subjects. In contrast, Preston Elementary School has fluctuated between the top 27% and 38% of elementary schools in the state, with mixed results on test scores.
Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% and a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The district may want to investigate the causes of the disparity in performance between the two schools, ensure equity in funding and resources, and address the issue of chronic absenteeism across the district.
