Cave Springs High School

Summary:

Despite its unique student demographics, Cave Springs High School has consistently struggled academically, with 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science in the 2022-2023 school year. This performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Vian High School, Central High School, and Tahlequah High School, which have much higher proficiency rates. Additionally, 66.07% of Cave Springs High School students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, higher than the nearby schools.

Over the past decade, Cave Springs High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 54th out of 428 Oklahoma high schools in 2008-2009 to 439th out of 439 in 2022-2023. This trend suggests that the school has been struggling to maintain academic standards and provide a quality education for its students, which may be due to the unique challenges faced by the high percentage of Native American students and the low-socioeconomic status of the student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help improve the educational outcomes for the students at Cave Springs High School.

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.
