Summary

Caney High School is a small public high school located in Caney, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Caney District, which is ranked 443 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Caney High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 331 out of 431 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Caney High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with only 24% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 3% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% and 18%, respectively. The school's graduation rates have been mixed, ranging from 81.1% to 96.8% for the four-year graduation rate, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, which is significantly higher than the state average. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the fact that Caney High School serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Caney High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby high schools, such as Bennington High School, Milburn High School, and Stringtown High School, the school spends $15,495 per student, which is higher than the state average and the spending levels of many of the nearby schools. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather a need to address other factors, such as instructional practices, student support, and school culture.
