Best High Schools in Calumet, OK

The city of Calumet, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Calumet High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced academic and performance challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 234 to 309 out of 431-463 Oklahoma high schools over the past few years, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Calumet High School has a relatively small student population of 80 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 48.75%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite these factors, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $23,846, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and whether the school is utilizing its funding in the most impactful way to support student learning and achievement.
