Nathan Hale High School

Summary:

Nathan Hale High School is a public high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 1,067 students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, low graduation rates, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

According to the key insights, only 11.1% of 11th-grade students at Nathan Hale High School were proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts, and only 1.1% were proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics, far below the state and district averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate was just 80.1% in 2021-2022, and 84.16% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Compared to nearby schools, such as Booker T. Washington High School, which is ranked 12th out of 431 Oklahoma high schools, Nathan Hale's performance is significantly lower.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($10,226 in 2018-2019) and fluctuating student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes at Nathan Hale High School remain a concern. The disparities in educational opportunities within the Tulsa School District highlight the need for a more equitable approach to supporting all students and addressing the challenges faced by this school.

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.
