Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single high school, Mason High School, located in the Mason school district in Oklahoma. With an enrollment of just 74 students, Mason High School faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its declining performance and low proficiency rates.
Despite relatively high per-student spending of $15,252, the school's academic performance is quite low, with only 4% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics and Science, and 12% in U.S. History. This concerning trend is reflected in the school's statewide ranking, which has dropped from 269th out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 436th out of 439 in 2022-2023. The high percentage of students (77.03%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Mason High School is facing significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
Without comparative data on other high schools in the area or state, it is difficult to fully contextualize the performance of Mason High School. However, the available information indicates that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its diverse student population, which is 37.84% White, 33.78% Native American, and 21.62% two or more races. The low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how its resources are being allocated to better support student learning and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance.
