High Schools in Tushka

Tushka, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Tushka High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant academic challenges, with low proficiency rates across multiple subject areas and a fluctuating state-wide ranking that currently places it in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma high schools.

Tushka High School has an enrollment of 150 students, with a diverse racial makeup that is predominantly White (62.67%) and Native American (30.67%). However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, as evidenced by the low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (17.5%), Mathematics (2.5%), Science (5%), and U.S. History (32.5%).

Despite the school's academic challenges, it does have some positive factors, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 and spending per student that is above the national average, though still below the state average for Tushka schools. Addressing the school's academic performance and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population will be crucial for improving the overall quality of education in Tushka.
