Ardmore High School

Summary:

Ardmore High School is a public high school located in Ardmore, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 747 students. The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and serving its diverse student population.

Ardmore High School has consistently underperformed compared to other Oklahoma high schools in academic metrics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 362 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and was rated 1 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (19.4%) and Mathematics (5%) for 11th graders were significantly lower than the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 80-82% in recent years, which is lower than the state average. When compared to nearby Lone Grove High School, which is located just 6.82 miles away, Ardmore High School consistently underperforms in academic metrics, with Lone Grove High School ranking significantly higher (32 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools) and having a higher four-year graduation rate.

Ardmore High School's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups. While the school ranks relatively well for African American students, it performs poorly for Hispanic and Native American students. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these underperforming subgroups. Additionally, the high student-teacher ratio and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.65%) may indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
