Barnsdall High School

Q: Is Barnsdall High School a good school?

Barnsdall High School ranks 305 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Barnsdall High School is a public high school in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, serving 133 students in grades 9-12 with a diverse student population that is 60.15% White, 0.75% African American, 3.76% Hispanic, 30.83% Native American, and 4.51% two or more races.

Academically, Barnsdall High School has struggled, ranking 305 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 with only 27.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 6.1% in Mathematics, and 15.2% in Science. This is significantly lower than nearby high-performing schools like Bartlesville High School and Oklahoma Connections Academy High School. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the surrounding schools. However, Barnsdall High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1, suggesting more individualized attention for students.

Interestingly, Barnsdall High School's male students outperformed female students, with the school ranking 93 out of 355 Oklahoma high schools for male students but only 341 out of 353 for female students. The school's academic performance has also declined over the years, dropping from 163 out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 305 out of 439 in 2022-2023. To address these challenges, the school may need to learn from the successful practices of higher-performing nearby schools like Bartlesville High School and explore strategies to better support its diverse student population, particularly its large Pawhuska Native American community.

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.
