Astec Charter Middle School is the sole middle school in the Astec Charter School district located in Oklahoma. The school serves grades 6-8 and faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Oklahoma middle schools over the past few years.
Astec Charter Middle School has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with only 10% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. While the school's science performance is slightly better, with 33% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 30%, the overall academic achievement remains significantly below the state standards.
The school faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (95.16%), a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.9, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. These socioeconomic and resource constraints may be contributing factors to the school's persistent low performance, indicating the need for comprehensive strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
