High Schools in Merritt

There is only one high school located in Merritt, Oklahoma - Merritt High School. Serving grades 9-12, Merritt High School is part of the Merritt School District, which is ranked 71 out of 295 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Merritt High School faces some challenges, with its statewide ranking declining over the past three years and relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and science. The school serves a student population that is predominantly White (80.21%) with a high percentage (52.41%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1 and high per-student spending of $11,790, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.

Overall, the data suggests that Merritt High School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve academic performance. While the school has some positive attributes, such as its low student-teacher ratio, the declining statewide ranking and low proficiency rates indicate that there is room for improvement in ensuring that students at Merritt High School receive a high-quality education.
