Tekoa High School

Summary:

Tekoa High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Tekoa, Washington, with a total enrollment of 87 students. The school is part of the Tekoa School District, which is ranked 174 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Tekoa High School has a significantly higher percentage of White students (70.11%) compared to the state average, as well as a higher percentage of Hispanic (17.24%) and Native American (8.05%) students, its academic performance has been consistently below average. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 84th out of 402 schools in 2008-2009 to 405th out of 455 schools in 2020-2021, and it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tekoa High School's performance on standardized tests is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, especially in mathematics.

Compared to nearby schools like Liberty High School and Oakesdale High School, which are part of the Liberty School District and Oakesdale School District respectively, Tekoa High School's performance is significantly lower, with higher rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. This comparison highlights the need for Tekoa High School to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts to address the school's declining performance, socioeconomic challenges, and racial achievement gaps.

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.
