High Schools in Oaks-Mission

There is only one high school located in the Oaks-Mission area of Oklahoma, Oaks-Mission High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has a total enrollment of 81 students and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly disadvantaged student population.

Oaks-Mission High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Only 16.7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 11.1% in Mathematics, 16.7% in Science, and 23.5% in U.S. History, indicating extremely low academic performance. The school serves a student population that is 64.2% Native American, with 87.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting high levels of economic disadvantage.

The school's high student-teacher ratio of 47.3 to 1 may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance, as it can be challenging for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students in such a large classroom environment. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,602, which is higher than the state average, but the outcomes do not reflect this investment. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as resource allocation, teacher support, and targeted interventions for struggling students, may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students of Oaks-Mission.
