Summary

Bennett Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the Broken Bow School District, which is ranked 293 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bennett Elementary School has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 30% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 26% and 26%, respectively. The school's performance in Science is particularly concerning, with only 8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30%. When compared to nearby schools like Lukfata Public School and Denison Public School, Bennett Elementary lags behind in core subject proficiency rates.

Bennett Elementary School also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 2.4% to 19.0% over the past few years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting its student population. However, the school has shown some strengths in supporting certain student subgroups, such as ranking 40th out of 79 Oklahoma elementary schools for Native American students and 120th out of 403 for White students in the 2020-2021 school year.
