Memorial High School

Summary:

Memorial High School is a public high school located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,023 students. The school is part of the Tulsa School District, which is ranked 246 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 6.9% were proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% in the 2021-2022 school year is also below the state and district averages. Additionally, Memorial High School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 86.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Comparing Memorial High School to nearby schools within the Tulsa School District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Thomas Edison Preparatory High School, located just 2.49 miles away, consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state and outperforms Memorial High School in academic assessments and graduation rates. Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Memorial High School, the school's per-student spending of $10,722 in the 2018-2019 school year is lower than the state and district averages, suggesting that the school may be underfunded and lacking the necessary resources to support its student population effectively.

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.
