Capitol Hill High School

Summary:

Capitol Hill High School is a public high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 1,455 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic student body (74.02% in 2022-2023).

Despite its diverse enrollment, Capitol Hill High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Oklahoma.

These scores are significantly lower than the state and national averages, as well as the performance of nearby high-performing schools like Classen High School of Advanced Studies, which ranked 6th in the state and received 5 out of 5 stars.

The data also reveals that Capitol Hill High School serves a predominantly low-income community, with 98.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Capitol Hill High School's poor performance on various student subgroups, particularly for African American and Hispanic students, as well as students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, raises concerns about educational equity and the need to address the unique challenges faced by these student populations.

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.
