Little Axe High School

Summary:

Little Axe High School is a public high school located in Norman, Oklahoma, serving 325 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Little Axe School District, which is ranked 227 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Little Axe High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 160th out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 274th out of 307 high schools in 2020-2021 (1-star rating). The school shows some strengths, ranking 40th out of 145 high schools for Hispanic students (4-star rating) in 2023-2024, but it ranks 168th out of 184 high schools for special education students (0-star rating) in 2022-2023, indicating this is an area that needs improvement. The school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 79.7% to 86.8%, on par with the state average. However, its test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics have been below the state average, with only 43% proficient or better in ELA and 10.5% in Math for 11th graders in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby high schools, Little Axe High School generally performs worse than higher-ranked schools like Norman High School, Dale High School, and Norman North High School, but it outperforms lower-ranked schools like Dimensions Academy and Macomb High School. The school's spending per student ($8,779 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, but it does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes compared to other schools. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 14.7 over the past few years, could be leveraged to enhance the overall academic performance of the student body.

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.
