Newkirk High School

Summary:

Newkirk High School is a public high school in Newkirk, Oklahoma, serving 242 students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger over the years.

Newkirk High School's academic achievement, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 7.3% were proficient or better in Mathematics. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Ponca City High School, which is only 10.98 miles away, Newkirk High School generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking and academic achievement.

However, Newkirk High School has shown some strengths, particularly in its support for Native American students. In 2023-2024, the school ranked relatively high (39 out of 168) for this student subgroup. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. With the right strategies and resources, Newkirk High School may have the potential to improve its overall performance and better support all of 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.
