Guymon High School

Summary:

Guymon High School is a public high school in Guymon, Oklahoma, serving 827 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and English Language Learners.

Academically, Guymon High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, with below-average performance on state assessments. Only 22.4% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, 10.3% in Mathematics, 6.4% in Science, and 28.2% in U.S. History. This is significantly lower than nearby schools like Hooker High School, which ranked 38 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 and had much higher proficiency rates. Guymon High School's performance has also declined over the years, dropping from 163 out of 197 Oklahoma high schools in 2016-2017 to 357 out of 439 in 2022-2023.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.7% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its relatively high percentage of English Language Learner students, ranking 49 out of 67 Oklahoma high schools in this subgroup, suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse student population. Addressing these challenges will be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a high-quality education to all 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.
