Vanoss High School

Q: Is Vanoss High School a good school?

Vanoss High School ranks 224 th of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vanoss High School is a public high school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 167 students. The school is part of the Vanoss School District, which is ranked 131 out of 295 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key differentiator for Vanoss High School is its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (32.93%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 10.64% to 30% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance has been quite variable, with 11th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 11.6% to 42.86% in various subjects, generally lower than high-performing schools like Latta High School and Stratford High School. Vanoss High School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.89% to 67.67%, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 32.18% to 58.75%.

Despite these challenges, Vanoss High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.2 to 14.7 over the past few years, which is lower than most of the nearby schools. However, the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the school ranking 151st out of 355 Oklahoma high schools for male students, but only 223rd out of 353 for female students, and 129th out of 187 for Native American students, indicating potential achievement gaps. Overall, Vanoss High School faces some obstacles, but its low student-teacher ratio could be an asset in addressing these issues and improving educational outcomes for its students.

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.
