Oxford High

Summary:

Oxford High is a public high school located in Oxford, Massachusetts, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 384 students. The school is part of the Oxford District, which is ranked 280 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Oxford High faces significant challenges, with MCAS proficiency rates and graduation rates lagging behind the state average and nearby high-performing schools like Sutton High School and Auburn Senior High. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 42.86% of 10th-grade students at Oxford High were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 56.86%. Similarly, only 38.2% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 48.47%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 80.9% in 2022-2023 to 91.0% in 2021-2022, which is below the state average.

While Oxford High has increased its spending per student from $14,613 in 2018-2019 to $15,599 in 2020-2021, which is slightly higher than the state average, this increased spending has not yet resulted in measurable improvements in academic outcomes. The school's performance on MCAS tests also varies significantly among different student subgroups, suggesting that the school may need to address issues of equity and inclusion to better serve all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
