Canton High School

Summary:

Canton High School is a small public high school in Canton, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 97 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The student body is predominantly White (55.67%), with significant Hispanic (21.65%) and Native American (19.59%) representation.

While Canton High School once ranked highly among Oklahoma high schools, it has seen a significant decline in academic performance in recent years. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 225 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, down from a high ranking of 23 out of 424 schools in 2010-2011. This decline is reflected in the school's test scores, where only 27.3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 13.6% in Mathematics, and 18.2% in Science. The school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.2% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Fairview High School (48.82%) and Okeene Junior-Senior High School (53.77%).

Despite these challenges, Canton High School's low student-teacher ratio of 6.6 in the 2022-2023 school year could be a potential strength, potentially allowing for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's academic performance lags behind its nearby counterparts, such as Fairview High School, which is only 16.58 miles away and has significantly higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking. Understanding the factors that contribute to the academic success of these nearby schools could provide valuable insights for improving Canton High School's performance.

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.
