Summary:

Covington-Douglas High School is a small public high school in Covington, Oklahoma, serving around 85 students in grades 9-12. The student body is predominantly White (70%), with Hispanic students making up the next largest group (15%). However, the school has seen a slight increase in racial diversity in recent years.

Covington-Douglas High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 13.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in core subjects in the 2022-2023 school year. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Covington-Douglas High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 72 out of 428 Oklahoma high schools in 2008-2009 to 295 out of 439 in 2022-2023, placing it in the bottom third of high schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mulhall-Orlando High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in Oklahoma, Covington-Douglas High School is clearly underperforming.

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.
