High Schools in Velma-Alma

Summary:

Velma-Alma, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Velma-Alma High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 160 out of 463 schools in 2024-2025 to 265 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024. While the school's proficiency rates in some subjects like English Language Arts and U.S. History exceed the state averages, its math and science scores lag behind.

Velma-Alma High School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 44.74% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, suggesting it may be allocating resources to address these challenges. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025 remains a concern.

Overall, Velma-Alma appears to have a single high school that is working to support its students, but may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction, as well as addressing the factors contributing to its fluctuating performance and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help the school better serve its students and community.
