Springer

The Springer school district in Oklahoma operates two schools - Springer Elementary School and Springer High School. Both schools have struggled academically, with Springer Elementary consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma elementary schools and Springer High ranking in the middle to bottom third of high schools.

Springer Elementary School has particularly concerning performance, with test scores significantly below state averages across core subjects. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state. In contrast, Springer High School has a more mixed record, with test scores below state averages but not as dramatically as the elementary school, and a 2-star rating.

Both Springer schools face significant challenges, including high rates of poverty, with over 88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism rates of 19%. While Springer High has a higher graduation rate than the state average at 82.2%, it is still relatively low. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as attendance and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the Springer school district.
