Chelsea High School

Q: Is Chelsea High School a good school?

Chelsea High School ranks 234 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Chelsea High School is a public high school located in Chelsea, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 232 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation of 47.84%.

Academically, Chelsea High School faces some challenges compared to nearby schools like Pryor High School and Claremore High School. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 20.7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 12.1% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly lower than the nearby schools. However, Chelsea High School's performance in U.S. History is relatively stronger, with 47.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Chelsea High School's performance for its Native American student population and low-income students is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance and the nearby schools. The school's Native American students rank 79 out of 187 Oklahoma high schools, with a 3-star rating, while the school's overall ranking has declined from 164 out of 307 Oklahoma high schools in 2020-2021 to 234 out of 439 in 2022-2023. This suggests that targeted interventions and support for the school's unique student demographics may be an area of focus to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
