High Schools in Paoli

There is only one high school located in Paoli, Oklahoma - Paoli High School. This small school serves a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds, and a significant economically disadvantaged population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings and proficiency rates in core subjects.

Paoli High School is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History are all low, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 40% in U.S. History. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (58.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a diverse student population, with 38.33% White, 8.33% Hispanic, 38.33% Native American, and 15% two or more races. This diversity could be an asset, but it may also present unique challenges in terms of meeting the needs of all students. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 could be a positive factor, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this alone may not be enough to overcome the school's broader academic challenges, which may require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement to support the school and its students.
