Summary:
Ketchum, Oklahoma, has one listed middle school, Ketchum Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 118 students, so there is no other in-city middle school in this list to compare. The most important finding is that its 2025–2026 all-grade results were below state results in all three subjects: English Language Arts I was 25% versus 26%, math was 18% versus 25%, and science was 28% versus 30%; the school’s average gap across the subjects shifted from 3 points above the state the prior year to 3 points below.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school ranking in a list of one school, but grade-level results show clear strengths and weaknesses. Seventh-grade English Language Arts I stands out: 31% of students were proficient, 8 points above the state’s 23%. Sixth-grade math is the clearest low result, at 13% compared with 26% statewide, a 13-point gap. Eighth-grade science was also below the state, 28% versus 36%—an 8-point difference—while seventh- and eighth-grade math matched their state rates.
Results weakened relative to the state from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the school’s simple average across the three subjects fell 7 points, from 30% to 24%, while the state average shifted only slightly, from 27.3% to 27.0%. SchoolDigger’s school ranking also fell from 111 of 369 schools (70th percentile) to 189 of 378 (50th percentile); that ranking is a separate reference point, not a proficiency score. For context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 13.5 in 2024–2025, and 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. Separately, SchoolDigger lists the Ketchum district at 118 of 450 and four stars.
