Summary

Panama High School is a public high school serving 216 students in grades 9-12 in Panama, Oklahoma, which is part of the Panama District. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 32nd out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 but dropping to 364th out of 439 in 2022-2023. In the 2024-2025 school year, Panama High School ranked 149th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools, with a 3-star rating.

While Panama High School outperforms nearby schools like Muldrow High School, Wister High School, and Gans High School in some areas, it also faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student ($9,670 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools, such as Keota High School ($13,719 per student).

By closely examining the data and identifying key metrics, the school and Panama District can develop strategies to address the unique needs of their student population and work towards continuous academic growth and success. This may include targeted interventions and support to address the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the needs of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
