Maud

The town of Maud, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Maud Elementary School and Maud High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Maud school district.

Maud Elementary School stands out for its very high free and reduced lunch rate of 87.63%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. In contrast, Maud High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from a low of 367 out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to a higher ranking of 131 out of 439 in 2022-2023, before dropping back down to 248 out of 431 in the most recent year. Maud High School's test scores also show room for improvement, with only 30% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 10% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year.

Both schools have relatively small student populations, with Maud Elementary at 194 students and Maud High at 82 students. However, they share a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting economic challenges in the community. While the schools have low student-teacher ratios, this alone has not been enough to drive significant improvements in academic outcomes. The data indicates opportunities for targeted interventions and a holistic approach to address the broader socioeconomic factors impacting the Maud school district.
