High Schools in Springer

The small town of Springer, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Springer High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. With a student population of just 61, Springer High School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly White and Native American student body, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Springer High School's academic performance has declined significantly over the past decade, with proficiency rates on state assessments plummeting to just 13.3% in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, 6.7% in Science, and 20% in U.S. History. This poor academic performance has led to a dramatic drop in the school's state-wide ranking, from 87th out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 415th out of 439 in 2022-2023, and a corresponding decline in its SchoolDigger rating from 4 stars to 0 stars. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,477 and small class sizes, it appears to be struggling to effectively allocate resources and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

While the small size of Springer High School could potentially be an advantage, allowing for more personalized attention and support for students, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's declining state-wide ranking and low proficiency rates on state assessments suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve educational outcomes for its students and reverse the concerning trends observed over the past decade.
