Summary:

Del City High School is a public high school serving 1,158 students in grades 9-12 in Del City, Oklahoma, which is part of the Midwest City-Del City school district. The school consistently performs below state and district averages in academic proficiency, with only 16.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 4.2% in Mathematics, 9.1% in Science, and 24.9% in U.S. History.

Del City High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 40.85% African American, 20.21% Hispanic, and 20.47% White students. However, the school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.01% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 36.86% at Carl Albert High School. As a result, Del City High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools, placing it well below the nearby Carl Albert High School, which ranked 141 out of 439 schools.

The data suggests that factors such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support services may be contributing to the challenges faced by Del City High School. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and challenges of the school's diverse student population, as evidenced by the significant disparities in subgroup performance and the widening gap between Del City High School and its neighboring institutions, such as Southeast High School and Carl Albert High School.

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.
