Summary:
Stringtown, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Stringtown High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces some significant challenges, including relatively low academic performance, high levels of economic disadvantage among its student population, and fluctuating statewide rankings, but it has also shown signs of improvement in recent years.
Stringtown High School has an enrollment of 82 students, making it a small high school. Its statewide ranking has improved from 298th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023 to 214th out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, and its current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger is an improvement from the previous 2-star rating. However, the school's four-year graduation rate for 2021-2022 was 80.1%, which is below the state average, and its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is relatively low, with only 28.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 14.3% proficient or better in Mathematics.
Despite the challenges, Stringtown High School is investing resources in its students, with spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year above the state average and a student-teacher ratio of 18.2, slightly higher than the recommended ratio. The high percentage of students (82.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Overall, Stringtown faces some significant challenges, but the school has shown signs of improvement and maintains a relatively high graduation rate despite these obstacles.
