Depew High School

Summary:

Depew High School is a public high school located in Depew, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 112 students. The school is part of the Depew School District, which is ranked 170 out of 295 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Depew High School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, socioeconomic disparities, and gender gaps in student achievement. The school has a significantly higher percentage of White students (75%) compared to the nearby schools, such as Kellyville High School and Cushing High School, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Depew High School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally lower than the nearby schools. For example, in 2022-2023, only 38.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.9% at Cushing High School and 34.9% at Kellyville High School.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 in 2022-2023 and higher spending per student ($11,222 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools, Depew High School's academic performance has declined over the years, from a high of 151 out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to 249 out of 439 in 2022-2023. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as curriculum, teaching practices, and school culture, may be contributing to the school's performance. Additionally, Depew High School has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (58.93% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may be impacting academic achievement.

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.
