Tushka High School

Summary:

Tushka High School is a public high school located in Atoka, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 165 students. The school is part of the Tushka School District, which is ranked 235 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tushka High School has struggled academically in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 48th out of 251 high schools in 2015-2016 to 272nd out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024. Its test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics have been consistently below the state average, with only 33.3% and 5.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a low of 79.7% in 2020-2021 to a high of 87.5% in 2021-2022, though it is generally above the state average.

Tushka High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school ranks relatively well for its special education students (44th out of 187 high schools in 2023-2024), but struggles with its white student population (270th out of 346 high schools in 2023-2024) and low socioeconomic status students (266th out of 370 high schools in 2023-2024). Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.07% in 2021-2022 to 69.7% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, such as Caddo High School and Coalgate High School, could be crucial for improving the overall quality of education at Tushka High School.

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.
