Summary:
The data set provided information on a single high school located in Texhoma, Oklahoma - Texhoma High School. This school has seen a significant decline in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the years, with low proficiency rates across multiple subject areas and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Texhoma High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 122nd out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to 353rd out of 439 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to just 1 star over the same period. The school's proficiency rates are quite low, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 6.7% in Mathematics, 0% in Science, and 40% in U.S. History. Additionally, a significant portion (71.79%) of Texhoma High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage within the student population.
Despite the school's declining performance, Texhoma High School has a relatively small class size, with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.6, and a relatively high per-student spending of $11,766 for the 2018-2019 school year. These factors suggest potential opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized learning approaches to improve student outcomes, but the root causes of the school's academic struggles will need to be further investigated to develop effective strategies for addressing the challenges faced by the Texhoma community.
