Summary:
Ponca City, Oklahoma is home to a single high school, Ponca City High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 66th out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 to 124th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023, before improving to 75th out of 431 schools in the most recent 2023-2024 school year.
Ponca City High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and has shown some progress in academic proficiency, with 41.3% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22.9% proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024, up from the previous year. However, the school's graduation rate of 80.1% in 2021-2022 and its high free/reduced lunch rate of 67.24% in 2023-2024 suggest that the school may face unique challenges in serving its student population.
Despite these fluctuations, Ponca City High School appears to be the only high school option for students in the Ponca City area. The school's relatively low spending of $8,957 per student in 2018-2019 and student-teacher ratio of 18.4 to 1 in 2023-2024 may also be factors to consider when evaluating the resources and support available to students and teachers at the school.
