Summary:
The city of Broken Bow, Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, Rector Johnson Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 89th out of 149 in 2022-2023 to 233rd out of 369 in 2024-2025, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Rector Johnson Middle School is underperforming compared to the Broken Bow district and the state of Oklahoma, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is higher than the state average. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 84.87% in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's academic and performance struggles, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and per-student spending that is in line with the state average. To address the school's declining performance and academic underachievement, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen instructional practices, and explore ways to leverage additional resources and support for the school community.
