High Schools in Caney

The town of Caney, Oklahoma is home to a single public high school, Caney High School, which serves grades 9-12. With a total enrollment of just 72 students, the school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, socioeconomic disadvantages, and a declining ranking over time.

Caney High School's student population is predominantly Native American (43.06%) and White (41.67%), with smaller percentages of other racial groups. The school's academic proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 16.7% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 5.6% in Mathematics, 16.7% in Science, and 16.7% in U.S. History. This underperformance is reflected in the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 375 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,495 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to address the specific needs of the student population. With over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes. To better serve the diverse student body and reverse the declining performance trend, Caney School District may need to implement more effective resource allocation and culturally responsive teaching strategies.
