Clayton High School

Summary:

Clayton High School is a small public high school in Clayton, Oklahoma, serving 96 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly White (68.75%) and Native American (29.17%) student population.

Academically, Clayton High School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.9%) and Mathematics (10.3%) falling below the state averages. However, the school performs better in U.S. History, with 48.3% of 11th-grade students being proficient or better. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (69.79%) may contribute to these academic struggles, though the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 students per teacher could be an advantage. Interestingly, while Buffalo Valley High School has a higher percentage of low-income students, its academic performance is generally lower than Clayton High School's.

Over the years, Clayton High School's academic performance has fluctuated, with the school ranking as high as 182 out of 251 Oklahoma high schools in 2015-2016, but then declining to 262 out of 350 in 2021-2022. This decline is concerning and suggests that the school may need to implement strategies to improve student learning and achievement. Despite the challenges, the school's focus on serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and its relatively low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged to improve educational outcomes for its 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.
