Summary

Byng Junior High School is a public middle school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 7-9 with a total enrollment of 361 students. The school faces several key challenges, including underperformance in academic subjects, particularly for specific student subgroups, high chronic absenteeism, and a relatively low-income student population.

Byng Junior High School's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 43rd to 183rd out of Oklahoma middle schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (22%), Mathematics (18%), and Science (31%) are below the state averages. The school's performance for specific student subgroups is also concerning, with the school ranking 40th out of 51 Oklahoma middle schools for Native American students and 60th out of 108 for special education students, both with 1-2 star ratings. Additionally, Byng Junior High School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.3% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Byng Junior High School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms Konowa Junior High School, which ranks in the bottom 5% of Oklahoma middle schools, it lags behind higher-performing schools like McLish Middle School and Latta Middle School. Interestingly, Byng Junior High School's feeder school, Byng Elementary School, has stronger academic performance, suggesting potential challenges in the transition from elementary to middle school.
