High Schools in Howe

Howe, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Howe High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a relatively small student population of 226, with a diverse racial makeup that includes a majority of White (52.65%) and Native American (24.34%) students, as well as a significant Hispanic (15.93%) population.

Academically, Howe High School faces some challenges, with below-average performance on state assessments. Only 41.3% of 11th graders are proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 8.7% in Mathematics. The school's state-wide ranking has also declined over the past three years, dropping from 185th out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 236th out of 439 in 2022-2023. This decline, coupled with the school's current 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that Howe High School may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

The high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients (45.13%) at Howe High School indicates a relatively low-income student population, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,807 is below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.4 is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance, suggest that Howe High School may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
