Fort Towson High School

Summary:

Fort Towson High School is a small public high school in Fort Towson, Oklahoma, serving 77 students in grades 9-12. The school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking and academic performance, with its Fort Towson High School rating ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 in recent years.

While the school has relatively high graduation rates, its test scores in core subjects like math and English language arts have been mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 5.9% to as high as 43.5%. Compared to nearby schools like Rattan High School, Wright City High School, Hugo High School, and Valliant High School, Fort Towson High School's academic performance is generally lower. This may be due to the school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from predominantly low-income households, and the school's relatively lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Fort Towson High School's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 12:1 to 14:1, could be an advantage, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. The school's graduation rates are also on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools, suggesting that it is still able to support a significant portion of its students in completing their high school education.

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.
