Summary:
The city of Ninnekah, Oklahoma is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Ninnekah Elementary School, Senior High School, and Ninnekah Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 76.74% to 86.76%.
Ninnekah Elementary School stands out as a positive example, having improved its statewide ranking from 532 out of 957 schools in 2014-2015 to 167 out of 646 schools in 2020-2021, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Senior High School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the past three school years, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state averages. Ninnekah Middle School also faces challenges, with its 7th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 26% in 2023-2024 falling below the state average of 29%.
Despite the high rates of economic disadvantage, the schools in Ninnekah demonstrate varying levels of performance. While Ninnekah Elementary School has shown improvement, the other schools face challenges in meeting academic standards. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted support to the high-need student population will be crucial for ensuring the success of all students in the Ninnekah school district.
