Summary:
Ardmore, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Ardmore High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma high schools over the past 3 years, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Ardmore High School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below the state averages, ranging from 10-27% proficient compared to 18-37% statewide. Additionally, the school's graduation rate is relatively low at 82.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, and chronic absenteeism is high at 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year.
The data suggests that the school's struggles may be partly attributed to the high percentage of students (79.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's student-teacher ratio of 21.4 is slightly higher than the state average, and per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,691, which may indicate that the school is not allocating resources effectively to support student learning and success.
