High Schools in Strother

Strother, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Strother High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Strother School District. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 139 out of 439 schools in 2022-2023 to 289 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024 and 310 out of 463 schools in 2024-2025.

Academically, Strother High School lags behind state averages in several key areas, including English Language Arts (26% proficient or better for 11th grade vs. 37% statewide) and Mathematics (7% proficient or better for 11th grade vs. 18% statewide). However, the school's performance in Science (21% proficient or better for 11th grade, matching the state average) and U.S. History (38% proficient or better for 11th grade vs. 42% statewide) is closer to the state benchmarks. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.2% for the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern, as it falls below the state average.

Despite these academic challenges, Strother High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's high percentage of students (67.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces socioeconomic disadvantages that may contribute to the academic performance issues. The school's per-student spending of $9,961 for the 2018-2019 school year is in line with the state average, but it's unclear if this level of funding is adequate to address the needs of the student population.
