Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school located in Dover, Oklahoma - Dover High School. With an enrollment of just 52 students, Dover High School is a small high school serving the Dover community. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 71.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.8% in Mathematics to 47.1% in U.S. History.
Despite its small size, Dover High School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 students per teacher, which may allow for more personalized attention. However, the school's limited course offerings and extracurricular activities due to its small size could present challenges for students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over time, from 156 out of 424 high schools in 2010-2011 to 207 out of 439 high schools in 2022-2023, suggesting that its performance may be trending downward relative to other schools in the state.
Overall, the data highlights the unique challenges faced by a small, high-poverty high school like Dover High School. While the school has some strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio, it struggles with academic performance, particularly in core subject areas. Addressing the socioeconomic factors that impact student learning and implementing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes should be key priorities for the school and district in order to support the success of the Dover community.
