Summary:
The Tupelo school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Tupelo Elementary School and Tupelo High School. While Tupelo Elementary has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, Tupelo High School appears to be struggling in comparison.
Tupelo Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking climb from the bottom 25% to the top 40% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade. Its test scores are significantly above the state averages in core subjects, with 55% of students proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 26%. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19%.
In contrast, Tupelo High School lags behind, ranking in the bottom 40% of Oklahoma high schools. Its test scores fall short of state averages, with only 34% proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 3% in Math. Tupelo High also has a lower 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%. While the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, the performance gap suggests potential issues with resource allocation or instructional quality that warrant further investigation.
