Hooker

The schools in Hooker, Oklahoma consist of Hooker Elementary School and Hooker High School, serving students from elementary through high school. While the elementary school faces challenges, the high school stands out as a strong performer in the district.

Hooker High School is the standout school, ranking in the top 30% of Oklahoma high schools and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a 80.1% 4-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, and its test scores in core subjects are generally above state averages. In contrast, Hooker Elementary School struggles, with a low 1 out of 5 star rating and consistently low statewide rankings and test scores.

The data suggests that factors such as higher spending per student ($17,330 vs. $7,741), lower student-teacher ratio (12.8 vs. 15.3), and potentially fewer socioeconomic challenges (56.22% free and reduced lunch rate vs. 62.27%) may be contributing to Hooker High School's stronger performance. This presents an opportunity for the district to learn from the high school's success and focus on improving educational outcomes at the elementary level.
