Summary:
The city of Canadian, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Canadian High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma high schools in recent years and earning a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Canadian High School struggles academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments (OSTP) significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37%, and only 7% were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 18%. The school also underperforms the Canadian district and state averages on the CCRA assessments for 11th grade.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's challenges, as 82.09% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's graduation rate is relatively low at 82.2%, and chronic absenteeism is high at 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year. While the student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is slightly lower than the state average, the school's overall performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for its students.
