While Garber High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, it faces several challenges. The school's test scores are generally lower than nearby schools, with only 46.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 23.1% in Mathematics, 11.5% in Science, and 36% in U.S. History. Additionally, Garber High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.51%) compared to more diverse nearby schools like Enid High School (45.16% white) and Chisholm High School (80.19% white). The school also has a very high percentage of students (70.63%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage.

Garber High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 84th out of 251 Oklahoma high schools in 2015-2016 to 179th out of 439 in 2022-2023, suggesting a decline in performance over time. While the school's small size may provide a more personalized learning environment, it also means fewer resources and opportunities compared to larger nearby schools like Pioneer-Pleasant Vale High School, which is ranked much higher. By addressing the school's challenges and learning from the successes of top-performing nearby schools, Garber High School could potentially improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience 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.
