Summary

Jay High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Jay, Oklahoma, with a total enrollment of 427 students. The school is part of the Jay School District, which is ranked 299 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jay High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools over the past decade, with its performance on state assessments (OSTP) falling below the state average across all subject areas. Only 10-36% of students scored proficient or better in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby schools like Kansas High School and Ketchum High School, Jay High School's academic performance is generally lower. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 75.7% and 82.2%, slightly below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 6.1% to 19.0%, significantly higher than the state average.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Jay High School, with 69.53% to 77.99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests the school may be facing additional challenges in supporting the educational needs of its student population. While the performance of student subgroups is mixed, with male students generally outperforming female students and Native American students performing better than other subgroups, the overall trend indicates that Jay High School's academic performance has not kept pace with the state's improvement, and the school may need to identify and address the specific factors contributing to its lower outcomes.
