Summary:
The 73117 zip code area of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is home to a single public high school, Douglass High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 649 students. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to district and state averages.
Douglass High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%, which is lower than the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, significantly higher than the state and district. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in OSTP and CCRA assessments are very low, with only 11.2% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 3.3% proficient in Mathematics. These academic struggles are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (94.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively lower student-to-teacher ratio of 11.7 and higher per-student spending of $14,555 compared to the state average, Douglass High School continues to rank among the lowest-performing high schools in Oklahoma City. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent challenges, such as attendance, teacher quality, and resource allocation, in order to improve student learning outcomes.
