Strother

The Strother school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Strother Elementary School and Strother High School. The district as a whole is ranked 249 out of 342 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing district.

Strother High School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 49 out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 289 out of 431 in 2023-2024. However, its test scores, particularly in math, remain a concern, with 11th grade math proficiency rates ranging from 5% to 10%. In contrast, Strother Elementary School has maintained a relatively consistent but low statewide ranking, with its 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 28% significantly below the state average of 38%.

Both Strother Elementary School and Strother High School have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. The relatively high spending per student at both schools, coupled with the low performance metrics, raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes in the Strother school district.
