Guymon Junior High School

Summary:

Guymon Junior High School is a public middle school in Guymon, Oklahoma, serving 438 students in grades 7-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests compared to the state average.

Despite spending $9,316 per student, which is higher than the nearby North Park Elementary School, Guymon Junior High School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science remain well below the state averages. In 2023-2024, only 30% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40%. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 11% of 7th-grade students and 16% of 8th-grade students achieving proficiency or better, compared to the state averages of 29% and 25%, respectively.

The school's student population is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is also low compared to their peers statewide. While the school's challenges may be influenced by these demographic factors, the need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes remains a priority for the Guymon school district.

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.
