Summary:

Idabel High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 24.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 7% in Mathematics, 10.5% in Science, and 23.5% in U.S. History. The school's diverse student population, with 35.43% White, 19.16% African American, and 13.65% Hispanic, does not reflect the academic performance, as certain subgroups, such as White and African American students, perform significantly worse than their peers in the state. Additionally, 89.5% of Idabel High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.
Compared to nearby schools, such as Wright City High School, Idabel High School generally underperforms across all subject areas. Despite the school's low academic performance, Idabel High School spends a relatively high amount per student, at $11,726 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to explore alternative strategies to improve student outcomes. The school's declining performance and the disparities among student subgroups suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of the academic challenges and improve student outcomes.
