Summary:
The city of Muldrow, Oklahoma has only one middle school, Muldrow Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 48th out of 171 Oklahoma middle schools in 2021-2022 to 139th out of 369 in 2024-2025. Muldrow Middle School's proficiency rates on standardized tests are generally below the state average across subjects and grade levels, with only 24% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22% in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects.
Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025, which is a significant issue. Additionally, a large majority (75.76%) of Muldrow Middle School's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $8,460 in 2018-2019 was relatively low compared to state averages, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.6 in 2023-2024 was slightly lower than the state average, suggesting potential resource constraints that may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
Overall, the data analysis reveals that Muldrow Middle School is facing significant performance issues, with declining statewide rankings, underperformance on standardized tests, high levels of economic disadvantage, and potential resource constraints. These findings suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions, additional resources, and a comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of its performance issues and better support its students.
