South Coffeyville

The South Coffeyville area of Oklahoma is home to two public schools - South Coffeyville Elementary School and South Coffeyville High School, both of which serve students in the South Coffeyville school district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.

Both the elementary and high school have ranked in the bottom 20-40% of Oklahoma schools over the past several years, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics than the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the elementary school had only 6% proficiency in ELA and 13% in Math, while the state average was 26% for both. The high school's test scores are also well below the state average, with 0% proficiency in 11th grade Math and only 32% in 11th grade ELA. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high-poverty student population, may be a contributing factor to the schools' struggles. Overall, the educational landscape in South Coffeyville appears to be in need of significant improvement, and the district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
