Chelsea High School

Summary:

Chelsea High School is a public high school in Chelsea, Oklahoma, serving 241 students in grades 9-12. While the school has a history of ranking in the lower half of Oklahoma high schools, with a current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some key insights that provide important context.

Academically, Chelsea High School consistently underperforms compared to nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 5.7% were proficient or better in Mathematics. These percentages are significantly lower than Pryor High School (43.4% in ELA, 22.2% in Math) and Claremore High School (46.5% in ELA, 24.9% in Math). Chelsea High School's 4-year graduation rate of around 80% is on par with nearby schools, but still lower than the state average.

One factor that may contribute to Chelsea High School's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.27% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This is significantly higher than Pryor (48.05%) and Claremore (50.67%) high schools. While the school's spending per student is higher than nearby schools, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a review of resource allocation and educational strategies.

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.
