Summary:

Catoosa High School is a public high school serving 532 students in grades 9-12 in Catoosa, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Catoosa School District, which is ranked 236 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Catoosa High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average and nearby schools in academic proficiency. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 35.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 16.8% in Mathematics, 14.1% in Science, and 31.1% in U.S. History. These scores are significantly lower than the state averages and the performance of higher-ranked schools like Owasso High School and Verdigris High School. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students, Hispanic students, and Native American students performing particularly poorly compared to their peers.

Catoosa High School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (61.65% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), a declining statewide ranking, and a need to examine its instructional practices and support systems to better serve all students and close the performance gaps. While the school's special education students perform relatively well, the overall academic performance of Catoosa High School suggests that the school may need to learn from the strategies of higher-performing schools in the area, such as Owasso High School and Verdigris High School, to improve outcomes for all students.

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.
