Springer High School

Summary:

Springer High School is a small public high school in Springer, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 61 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly White student body, with significant percentages of Native American and multiracial students.

Despite its small size, Springer High School has struggled academically in recent years. The school currently ranks 415 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a significant decline from its previous ranking as high as 87 out of 424 schools in 2010-2011. Springer High School's test scores are significantly below the state average, with only 13.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, 6.7% in Science, and 20% in U.S. History. In comparison, nearby schools like Sulphur High School and Plainview High School have substantially higher proficiency rates.

Springer High School's challenges may be linked to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.05% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, Springer High School spends significantly more per student ($18,477 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby schools, suggesting that the school may be allocating resources in a way that is not effectively improving student outcomes. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to support its students and improve academic performance.

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.

Just a really terrible school. The Administration doesn't care about the students what so ever and the curriculum is not what it should be. As a graduate of this school I would NOT recommend sending your child/children to this school. Close Quote

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.
