Waynoka High School

Summary:

Waynoka High School is a small public high school in Waynoka, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 65 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly White student body, though the racial makeup has become more diverse in recent years, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 84.75% in 2020-2021 to 73.85% currently.

Waynoka High School stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio of 6.5, significantly lower than the nearby Alva High School (12.2) and Freedom High School (3.6). However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (50%) compared to Alva High School (33.3%), but a much lower percentage in Mathematics (7.1% vs. 14% at Alva High School).

Waynoka High School also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (38.46%) compared to Alva High School (31.94%), indicating a greater proportion of students from lower-income families. The school's spending per student ($10,304 in 2018-2019) is lower than Alva High School ($14,045) and significantly lower than Freedom High School ($30,834). While Waynoka High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, the low Mathematics test scores suggest an area for improvement that the school may want 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.
