Summary

Holdenville High School is a public high school located in Holdenville, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 279 students. The school is part of the Holdenville School District, which is ranked 265 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holdenville High School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 23% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 3% in Mathematics, and 14% in Science, compared to the state averages of 37%, 18%, and 21% respectively. The school's graduation rates have been mixed, ranging from 81.1% to 95.3% in recent years, and it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.9% to 19.0%. These challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the nearby schools, such as Butner High School, Academy of Seminole High School, and Bowlegs High School, also face academic challenges, the Academy of Seminole High School, a public charter school, stands out with significantly higher academic performance, ranking among the top 15 high schools in the state. Holdenville High School's spending per student, at approximately $12,684, is comparable to the nearby schools, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
