High Schools in Heavener

Heavener, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Heavener High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and Native American representation, but faces academic challenges as evidenced by its low proficiency rates and fluctuating statewide rankings.

Heavener High School has a total enrollment of 310 students, with a racial composition of 30.32% White, 0.97% African American, 46.45% Hispanic, 20.65% Native American, and 1.61% two or more races. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates of just 25.3% in English Language Arts, 9.3% in Mathematics, 10.5% in Science, and 50% in U.S. History. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 237th out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 289th out of 439 in 2022-2023, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (71.61%) suggests that Heavener serves a predominantly low-income community, which can present additional challenges in terms of resources and support for students. However, the school's per-student spending of $10,757 and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 indicate that the school is allocating resources to support its students, though these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
