Ripley

The Ripley school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Ripley Elementary School and Ripley High School. The data reveals a mixed picture, with both schools facing challenges but also exhibiting some strengths.

Ripley Elementary School maintains a relatively strong statewide ranking, placing in the top half of Oklahoma elementary schools in recent years. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally below the state average, with some exceptions in 6th and 7th grade. Notably, the school stands out with 66% proficiency in 8th grade science, significantly higher than the state average of 36%. On the other hand, Ripley Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, well above the state average.

In contrast, Ripley High School has shown inconsistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from the top 35% to the bottom 10% of Oklahoma high schools in recent years. The school's 11th grade Math proficiency is relatively low at 15%, compared to the state average of 18%. However, Ripley High School boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%, outperforming the state average. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, which may present unique challenges.
