Byng High School

Summary:

Byng High School is a public high school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 278 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Native American, Hispanic, and other racial backgrounds.

Byng High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in various subjects, is generally lower than the state average. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 43.8% in English Language Arts, 15.7% in Mathematics, 11.2% in Science, and 30.3% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 100 out of 197 high schools in 2016-2017 to 246 out of 439 high schools in 2022-2023. Byng High School's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and Native American student subgroups, ranking 129 out of 129 and 135 out of 187 high schools, respectively, in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 47.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Latta High School and Stratford High School, which have consistently higher academic performance and statewide rankings, Byng High School's academic performance is generally lower. However, Byng High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10 students per teacher in 2022-2023, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students. To improve educational outcomes and address the challenges faced by the school, Byng High School may need to explore strategies to support underperforming student subgroups and address the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
