Summary

Idabel High School is a public high school located in Idabel, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Idabel School District, which is ranked 353 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Idabel High School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 25% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 6% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% and 18%, respectively. The school's 4-year graduation rate of around 82% is also slightly below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 14.2% to 19.0% in recent years. These challenges may be exacerbated by the fact that 85.65% of Idabel High School's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Wright City High School, Idabel High School generally underperforms. However, the school's special education students performed exceptionally well, ranking 14 out of 187 Oklahoma high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite spending approximately $11,726 per student, which is higher than the state average, Idabel High School's academic outcomes suggest a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization to better support the success of all students.
