Wewoka

The Wewoka school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools - Wewoka Elementary School, Wewoka Middle School, and Wewoka High School - that collectively serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. However, the data indicates that the schools in this Wewoka district are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like standardized test scores, attendance rates, and economic disadvantage.

Across all three Wewoka schools, proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average, with particularly poor results at the high school level. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Wewoka High School had only 6% proficiency in ELA and 0% in Math for 11th grade students, compared to the state averages of 37% and 18% respectively. Additionally, the schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% across all three campuses, which is much higher than the state average.

The data also reveals that the Wewoka schools serve a student population facing significant economic hardship, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 83.78% at the middle school to 87.59% at the elementary school. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the district. Furthermore, the differences in per-student spending between the schools suggest potential inequities in resource allocation that could be impacting student outcomes.
