Summary:

Oroville Middle-High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Oroville, Washington, with a student population of 253. The school faces significant challenges, including underperformance on standardized tests, lower graduation rates, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Compared to the state average, Oroville Middle-High School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (40.71%) and a lower percentage of White students (51.38%). Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state, with proficiency rates in 10th grade English Language Arts and Math significantly below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 73.8% to 86.4%, but remains below the state average. Additionally, Oroville Middle-High School has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 4.7% to 21.4% over the past five years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Oroville Middle-High School's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby Methow Valley Independent Learning Center and Tonasket High School, both of which have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. However, the school's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school. Despite higher per-student spending in recent years, Oroville Middle-High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
