Omak High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 35.83% White, 31.04% Hispanic, and 17.71% Native American students. However, the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.0% to 91.7% over the past five years, which is lower than the 89.7% rate at the nearby Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School. Omak High School also has a significantly higher dropout rate, ranging from 2.3% to 16.9%, compared to 2.2% at the virtual school. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally lower than the state averages and the scores of the nearby virtual school.

Omak High School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.99% to 76.46% over the past three years. This is significantly higher than the 53.81% rate at the Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Omak High School, ranging from $17,031 to $22,187 over the past four years, the school's performance metrics indicate that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The Omak School District should carefully analyze the school's data and implement targeted strategies to address these challenges and improve student success.

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.
