Summary:

This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic performance, particularly in subjects like U.S. History.

Okarche High School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 students per teacher, which is lower than many nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 85.06% of students identifying as White, significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in schools like Geary High School and Dover High School. Additionally, Okarche High School has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 18.39%, compared to the higher rates in schools like Geary High School (80%) and Dover High School (71.15%).

While Okarche High School's academic performance is impressive, with female students outperforming their male counterparts, the school's lack of racial diversity and socioeconomic differences compared to nearby schools may warrant further exploration. Understanding the factors that contribute to Okarche High School's success and the experiences of its diverse student body could provide valuable insights for educational policymakers and practitioners in the Okarche School District and beyond.

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.
