Oakesdale High School

Summary:

Oakesdale High School is a public high school in Oakesdale, Washington, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 73 students. The school stands out for its predominantly white student population, strong performance in English Language Arts and Science, and significantly higher spending per student compared to nearby schools.

Oakesdale High School's racial makeup is notably different from the surrounding area, with 86.96% to 97.26% of its students being white over the past three years. This is significantly higher than the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Liberty High School and Palouse High School. Academically, Oakesdale High School performs better than the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but lags behind in Math proficiency. The school's spending per student has also increased significantly, from $8,294 in 2019-2020 to $28,004 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Liberty School District, Palouse School District, and other surrounding districts.

While Oakesdale High School's unique profile and increased funding suggest a focus on improving educational resources, the school's declining statewide ranking and lower Math proficiency rates indicate areas for potential improvement. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure Oakesdale High School maintains its academic excellence and provides a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
