Idabel High School

Summary:

Idabel High School is a public high school in Idabel, Oklahoma, serving 381 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Idabel School District, which is ranked 234 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.

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.
