State ratings: Kirksey Elementary gets a C
What happened
The 2025-26 state ratings gave Booker ISD a B (82), Kirksey Elementary a C (79) and Booker JH/HS a B (89). The district plans to appeal the JH/HS rating.
Why it matters to families
A C rating means the elementary school is below where the state wants it. The principal said 5th graders will get extra math time to raise scores.
