Welch High School

Summary:

Welch High School is a public high school located in Welch, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school has had a varied performance history, ranking as high as 31st out of 428 Oklahoma high schools in the 2008-2009 school year, but has since declined, ranking 375th out of 431 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

One of the key factors that differentiates Welch High School is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.7 to 9.6 over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools like Quapaw High School, Fairland High School, and Afton High School. However, the school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.44% to 64.65% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools.

The school's test scores have been mixed, with some years showing relatively strong performance, such as the 2022-2023 school year when 57.1% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts and 19.1% were proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, the proficiency rates dropped significantly to 20% in CCRA/English Language Arts and 3.3% in CCRA/Mathematics. The school's graduation rates have also varied, ranging from 73.3% to 100% in recent years, which is generally on par with the nearby schools in the Welch, Quapaw, Fairland, and Afton districts.

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.
