Summary

Del City High School is a public high school serving 1,180 students in grades 9-12 in Del City, Oklahoma, which is part of the Midwest City-Del City School District. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms academically compared to state and district averages.

Del City High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below average, with only 20% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.1% to 90.8%, are also slightly below state and district averages. Additionally, Del City High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.0% to 44.1% in recent years, which is much higher than typical. The school serves a predominantly low-socioeconomic student population, with 67.01% to 81.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other high schools in the Midwest City-Del City district and the surrounding Oklahoma City area, Carl Albert High School and Midwest City High School have higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Del City High School. The school's challenges appear to be systemic, as its spending per student is on par with nearby schools, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
