High Schools in Indianola

Indianola, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Indianola High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 146 to 270 out of 431-463 Oklahoma high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating varying between 2 and 3 stars out of 5.

Academically, Indianola High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in core subjects like Mathematics and Science. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% is higher than the state average. These academic performance issues may be linked to the high percentage of students (85.19%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite its small size, with only 108 students, Indianola High School's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,012. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is slightly lower than the state average. However, the combination of academic challenges, economic disadvantage, and inconsistent performance over time suggests that Indianola may need to focus on improving instructional practices, student support systems, and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.
