Wynona

The Wynona school district in Oklahoma is home to two struggling schools - Wynona Elementary School and Wynona High School. Both schools have seen a significant decline in their statewide rankings over the past decade, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and low district and statewide rankings.

Wynona Elementary School has an enrollment of 79 students, while Wynona High School has just 26 students. Both schools are ranked 441 out of 452 in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with Wynona Elementary School having only 9% proficiency in ELA and 10% in Math, and Wynona High School having 13% proficiency in ELA and 0% in Math.

The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools (19.0%) are a major concern and likely contribute to the low academic performance. Additionally, the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (88.61% at the elementary school and 96.15% at the high school) suggest that the schools are serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact student learning and achievement. Despite the relatively high spending per student ($13,550 at the elementary school and $14,382 at the high school), the schools have struggled to improve student outcomes, indicating potential issues with resource allocation and utilization.
