Beggs High School

Q: Is Beggs High School a good school?

Beggs High School ranks 327 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Beggs High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Beggs, Oklahoma, with a total enrollment of 313 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently underperformed academically compared to the state and nearby schools, raising concerns for parents.

Beggs High School's academic performance is particularly concerning, with only 26.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 6.7% in Mathematics, 15.6% in Science, and 29.9% in U.S. History. These scores are significantly lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Sapulpa High School, Morris High School, and Glenpool High School. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.9% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Glenpool High School (50%) and Kiefer High School (42.47%).

Beggs High School's performance has been declining over the years, with proficiency rates in core subjects decreasing from the 2020-2021 school year to the 2022-2023 school year. The school's ranking has also consistently placed it in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, with a ranking of 327 out of 439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Native American students and special education students, who perform significantly worse than their peers at the school. While Beggs High School shares some similarities with nearby schools, its academic performance is consistently lower, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and resources to address these issues and 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.
