Canadian High School

Summary:

Canadian High School is a public high school located in Canadian, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 142 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Native American and low-income students.

Canadian High School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 8th out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in 2009-2010 to 294th out of 439 in 2022-2023. This decline is concerning, as the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is notably lower than nearby schools like Eufaula High School and Indianola High School. For example, in 2022-2023, only 23.3% of 11th-grade students at Canadian High School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to higher proficiency rates at the nearby schools.

Additionally, Canadian High School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 78.17% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as McAlester High School (55.59%) and Hanna High School (62.23%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 in 2022-2023 suggests that it may have more personalized attention and support for its students, but this has not translated into higher academic performance compared to the surrounding Eufaula, Indianola, and McAlester districts.

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.
