Ketchum High School

Summary:

Ketchum High School is a public high school in Ketchum, Oklahoma, serving 167 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ketchum School District, which is ranked 181 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ketchum High School stands out for its higher percentage of Native American students (38.92%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 31.4% to 56.97% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the surrounding schools. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 21.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 13.5% in Mathematics, and 5.4% in Science, which are lower than the nearby Adair High School and Fairland High School. Ketchum High School's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 94th out of 431 Oklahoma high schools in 2009-2010 to 363rd out of 439 in the most recent year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ketchum High School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (41.92% receive free or reduced-price lunch), and a lack of racial diversity compared to the surrounding schools. To address these issues, the school and Ketchum School District may need to implement targeted interventions, seek out best practices from higher-performing schools, and explore ways to better support the unique needs of their student population.

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.
