Rush Springs High School

Q: Is Rush Springs High School a good school?

Rush Springs High School ranks 244 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rush Springs High School is a public high school located in Rush Springs, Oklahoma, serving 130 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes a significant representation of Native American students.

Academically, Rush Springs High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 69th out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 244th out of 439 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 students per teacher, which could potentially be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students. In comparison, nearby Elgin High School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.2.

Another key factor is the school's socioeconomic status, with 40.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 20.36% rate at Marlow High School. This suggests that Rush Springs High School may face additional challenges in supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Native American students compared to nearby schools, also presents unique opportunities and considerations for the school and district to address.

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.
