Oxon Hill High

Summary:

Oxon Hill High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Oxon Hill, Maryland, part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school faces a mix of strengths and challenges in its academic performance.

While Oxon Hill High lags behind the state and district averages in mathematics and algebra proficiency, it outperforms them in 10th grade and overall English Language Arts assessments. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, Oxon Hill High also has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, suggesting it has additional resources to support its diverse student body.

However, it falls behind the high-performing Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC, a magnet school in the same district. Oxon Hill High's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in Maryland.

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.
