Earlsboro

The Earlsboro school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Earlsboro Elementary School and Earlsboro High School. Both schools have consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-30% of their respective school types in the state over the past several years. With extremely high free and reduced lunch rates, the Earlsboro community faces significant economic challenges that likely impact student learning and achievement.

Earlsboro Elementary School has ranked 646 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year, while Earlsboro High School ranked 394 out of 431 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Both schools spend relatively high amounts per student, with Earlsboro Elementary spending $8,598 per student and Earlsboro High spending $10,944 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. However, this high spending has not translated to improved student outcomes, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation within the Earlsboro district.

The student-teacher ratios at both schools, while not excessively high, may still present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to students, especially given the high poverty levels in the community. Addressing the underlying issues, such as resource allocation, staffing, and community poverty, will be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Earlsboro school district.
