Summary:
The Oktaha High School is the sole high school serving the Oktaha, Oklahoma area. The school has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 236th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Oktaha High School's performance on key metrics, such as graduation rates, state assessments, and college readiness, trails the state averages, indicating the school is struggling compared to other high schools in Oklahoma.
Oktaha High School's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.2%, which is below the state average. The school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, exceeding the state average. On state assessments, Oktaha High School's 11th-grade students performed below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History. Similarly, the school's performance on the College and Career Readiness Assessments was also below state benchmarks.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,083 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. The high percentage of students (80.18%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges the school is facing. To improve student performance, Oktaha may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the areas where the school is underperforming.
