High Schools in Catoosa

The Catoosa area has only one high school, Catoosa High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Catoosa School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant representation of minority groups, including Hispanic (19.74%), Native American (13.35%), and students of two or more races (17.29%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, is relatively low compared to state averages, with the highest proficiency rate in English Language Arts at 35.8%.

Catoosa High School also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 61.65% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a population with lower socioeconomic status. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined in recent years, from 224 out of 307 schools in 2020-2021 to 258 out of 439 schools in 2022-2023, indicating that the school may be struggling to keep pace with other high schools in the state.

Overall, Catoosa High School appears to be facing a combination of academic, socioeconomic, and ranking challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school performance. The school's diverse student population and the district's relatively low ranking suggest that the Catoosa area could benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to the school's performance and the implementation of strategies to address these challenges.
