Muskogee High School

Summary:

Muskogee High School is a public high school located in Muskogee, Oklahoma, serving 1,026 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students. However, the school has faced significant challenges, including consistently underperforming academically compared to the state and nearby high-performing schools.

Muskogee High School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 24.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 10.4% in Mathematics, 10.1% in Science, and 31.6% in U.S. History. These scores are significantly lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Warner High School and Fort Gibson High School. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.76% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.3.

The declining performance of Muskogee High School is concerning, as the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 191 out of 197 Oklahoma high schools in 2016-2017 to 335 out of 439 in 2022-2023. There are also significant racial disparities in academic achievement, with White students performing better than their Native American and Hispanic peers. To address these challenges, Muskogee High School will need to implement targeted interventions, equity-focused initiatives, and adopt best practices from nearby high-performing schools like Warner High School and Fort Gibson 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.
