Mill Creek High School

Q: Is Mill Creek High School a good school?

Mill Creek High School ranks 296 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mill Creek High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Mill Creek, Oklahoma, with a student population of just 62 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, Mill Creek High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (35.7%), Mathematics (7.1%), Science (21.4%), and U.S. History (21.4%). This academic performance is well below the state average and lags behind nearby schools like Milburn High School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates. Mill Creek High School also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.61% to 63.08% over the past three years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Mill Creek High School's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 11.9 may offer some advantages, the school's academic performance and socioeconomic challenges suggest a need for significant improvements. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, and its performance lags behind nearby schools with similar or even less diverse student populations, such as Milburn High School and Tishomingo High School. Targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to address the school's academic and socioeconomic challenges and better serve its students and community.

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.
