Sallisaw

The Sallisaw school district in Oklahoma consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of standout and struggling schools in the district, with Eastside Elementary School and Sallisaw High School showing the strongest performance.

Eastside Elementary School stands out with a 4-star rating and strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Sallisaw Middle School has struggled, with only 15% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, well below the state average. Sallisaw High School has seen fluctuating performance, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating in the most recent year, despite maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate.

Across the district, there are concerns about equity and resource allocation. All schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggests the need for a more equitable distribution of resources to support student success. While some schools, like Eastside Elementary, have shown improvement, the district as a whole faces challenges in ensuring all students receive a high-quality education.
