Porum High School

Summary:

Porum High School is a public high school located in Porum, Oklahoma, serving 136 students in grades 9-12, with a predominantly Native American (61.76%) and White (34.56%) student population.

Academically, Porum High School has struggled compared to nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 21.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 3% in Mathematics, 6.1% in Science, and 12.1% in U.S. History. This has resulted in the school ranking 410th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, a significant decline from its 92nd ranking out of 307 schools in 2020-2021. The school's performance is particularly low for Native American students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 181st, 327th, and 352nd, respectively, out of all Oklahoma high schools in those categories. With 80.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Porum High School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its academic struggles.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Eufaula High School, Oktaha High School, and Vian High School, Porum High School stands out as the lowest-performing in terms of academic proficiency and statewide ranking. However, the school's previous higher ranking suggests that with the right strategies and resources, Porum High School has the potential to improve and provide its students with the support they need to succeed.

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.
