Yale

Summary:

The Yale school district in Oklahoma consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Yale High School stands out with a 4-star rating and strong 4-year graduation rate, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools performing below state averages in core academic subjects.

Yale Elementary School maintains the highest performance among the 3 schools, with a consistent 2-star rating and better-than-average proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Yale Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 219 out of 407 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 344 out of 369 in 2024-2025, earning it the lowest 0-star rating among the district's schools.

Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.0% at all 3 schools, may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance. Additionally, significant disparities in proficiency levels compared to state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science, suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes in the Yale school district.
