Summary:
Macomb High School is a small public high school in Macomb, Oklahoma, serving 75 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of students coming from low-income backgrounds, and its academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools.
Macomb High School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 19.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 4.8% in Mathematics, 4.8% in Science, and 23.8% in U.S. History. These scores are well below the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Dale High School, Maud High School, and Bethel High School. Additionally, 77.33% of Macomb High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 29.71% to 84.71%.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 and higher per-student spending of $13,578, compared to nearby schools like Shawnee High School ($8,583 per student) and Bethel High School ($9,663 per student). However, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's poor performance. With the availability of higher-performing schools in the surrounding Dale, Maud, and Bethel districts, Macomb High School has an opportunity to learn from its neighbors and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
