Caney High School

Summary:

Caney High School is a small public high school in Caney, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 72. Despite its diverse student body, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to nearby high schools, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools.

Caney High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 16.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 5.6% in Mathematics, 16.7% in Science, and 16.7% in U.S. History. This is significantly lower than the proficiency rates at schools like Bennington High School, Milburn High School, and Durant High School, which have much higher scores. The school's statewide ranking of 375 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, with a 1-star rating, further highlights its underperformance.

Caney High School's challenges extend beyond academic performance, with a high percentage of students (54.17%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's struggles are particularly concerning for specific student groups, such as male students and Native American students, who rank 319 out of 355 and 173 out of 187 Oklahoma high schools, respectively, both with a 1-star rating. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the school's challenges and leverages the strengths of the surrounding Bennington, Milburn, and other nearby communities.

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.
