Summary:
The city of Spencer, Oklahoma has two public schools - Star Spencer High School and Spencer Elementary School, both of which serve the Oklahoma City school district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages.
Star Spencer High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma high schools over the past 3 years, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (2.5-12.8%) and Mathematics (0-3.9%). The school's 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% is also below the state average. Similarly, Spencer Elementary School has ranked in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools, indicating widespread academic struggles across the district.
Compounding the academic challenges, both schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 90%, suggesting significant socioeconomic disadvantages in the student population. While the high school spends $13,821 per student, this high level of spending does not seem to be translating into better outcomes, pointing to potential issues with resource allocation or other factors impacting student performance. Overall, the data does not provide any clear standout schools or bright spots in the Spencer, Oklahoma education system, indicating that significant improvements may be needed across the board to raise the quality of education in the area.
