Temple High School

Summary:

Temple High School is a small public high school in Temple, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 47. While the school has a diverse student body, its academic performance lags behind nearby high schools, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English, Math, and Science. Additionally, Temple High has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address socioeconomic factors impacting student learning.

Compared to nearby high schools like Geronimo High School and Empire High School, Temple High School stands out with its lower academic performance, higher free and reduced lunch rates, and a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests the school may face unique challenges or have different resource allocation priorities compared to its neighbors. Over the past several years, Temple High's statewide ranking has declined, indicating a need for the school and Geronimo district to identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies to support student success.

Despite the school's challenges, Temple High's low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 students per teacher could be an asset, providing more individualized attention for students. However, the school's high spending per student of $19,740, compared to $11,446 at Empire district and $10,268 at Comanche district, suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and the impact on student outcomes.

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.
