Carney High School

Summary:

Carney High School is a small public high school in Carney, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 53 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the surrounding schools, with only 23.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 15.4% in Mathematics, and 0% in Science.

Carney High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, with a ranking of 352 out of 439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 81.13% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Cushing High School (37.36%), Ripley High School (46.15%), and Perkins-Tryon High School (62.94%).

The small student population and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Carney High School could present opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized learning approaches. However, the school's academic performance has declined over the years, and it stands out as an underperforming institution compared to the surrounding high schools in the Cushing, Ripley, and Perkins-Tryon districts, which have significantly higher academic achievement as measured by standardized test scores and statewide rankings.

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.
