Summary

Temple High School is a small public high school in Temple, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 46 students. While the school is part of the Temple School District, which is ranked 183 out of 452 districts in the state, Temple High School itself has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 61st out of 428 Oklahoma high schools in 2008-2009 to 194th out of 463 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period.

Academically, Temple High School struggles, with test scores generally below the state average. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29%), Mathematics (11%), and Science (29%) for 11th-grade students were all lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 8.1% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state's average. Compared to nearby high schools, such as Geronimo High School, Temple High School generally performs worse in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and overall school rankings.

Despite the school's higher spending per student ($19,740 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment. The school's small size, with only 46 students, may also contribute to the challenges it faces in terms of resource allocation, course offerings, and extracurricular activities. Overall, Temple High School appears to be struggling in several key areas and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
