Mounds High School

Summary:

Mounds High School is a public high school serving around 190 students in grades 9-12 in the town of Mounds, Oklahoma, which is part of the Mounds School District. The school has struggled academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to nearby high-performing schools like Bixby High School and Jenks High School. Additionally, Mounds High School serves a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

Mounds High School's academic performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 180 out of 424 in 2010-2011 to 336 out of 439 in 2022-2023. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 27.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 5% in Mathematics, 17.5% in Science, and 25% in U.S. History. These scores are significantly lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby high-performing schools. The school also has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for improvement.

Despite the academic challenges, Mounds High School has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, with a student body that is 50.53% White, 12.11% Hispanic, and 19.47% Native American. This diversity is not as pronounced in schools like Bixby High School and Jenks High School. By addressing the identified challenges and leveraging the school's strengths, Mounds High School can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for its students.

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.
