Wetumka High School

Summary:

Wetumka High School is a public high school in Wetumka, Oklahoma, serving 125 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Native American students, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Wetumka High School has consistently underperformed compared to other Oklahoma high schools in academic achievement. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 18.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 6.1% in Mathematics, 15.2% in Science, and 33.3% in U.S. History. These scores are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating a need for improvement. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 212 out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 343 out of 439 in 2022-2023. Wetumka High School's academic performance is generally lower than nearby high schools, such as Henryetta High School, Okemah High School, and Seminole High School, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.

Despite the school's underperformance, Wetumka High School spends a relatively high amount per student, at $13,446 in the 2018-2019 school year. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to ensure that spending is aligned with improving student outcomes. Additionally, the school's high student-teacher ratio of 15.2 in the 2022-2023 school year could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students. To address these challenges, the Wetumka School District may need to implement targeted interventions, focus on improving instructional practices, and explore ways to better support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
