Summary:
Mason High School is a small public high school in Mason, Oklahoma, serving 74 students in grades 9-12. The student body is diverse, with 37.84% White, 5.41% Hispanic, 33.78% Native American, and 21.62% two or more races.
Despite its small size, Mason High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Oklahoma, with only 4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, 0% in Science, and 12% in U.S. History. This low academic performance is particularly concerning, as the school's ranking has dropped from 89th out of 424 schools in 2010-2011 to 436th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a high poverty rate, with 77.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.
When compared to nearby high schools, Mason High School stands out as the lowest-performing. For example, Beggs High School, located about 20 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas. The school's declining enrollment, which has resulted in a small student population, and its high spending per student of $15,252 per student in 2018-2019, raise further questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a comprehensive intervention strategy to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
