Asher Elementary School holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 321 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools, indicating average performance.

Both Asher Elementary and Asher High School struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, Asher High School's low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to address these academic challenges. While Asher High School has a higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school, these additional resources alone do not appear to be driving academic success, highlighting the complexity of factors that contribute to student performance.
