Middle Schools in Bartlesville

The Bartlesville, Oklahoma area is home to two middle schools: Madison Middle School and Central Middle School. Based on the available data, Central Middle School appears to be the standout performer in the area, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and earning a higher SchoolDigger star rating of 4 out of 5, compared to Madison Middle School's 3 out of 5 rating.

Central Middle School outperforms Madison Middle School in several key metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Central Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.3, compared to Madison Middle School's 16.8, and a higher per-student spending of $8,689, compared to Madison Middle School's $7,579. Both schools, however, have seen a decline in their test score proficiency rates from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, particularly in Mathematics, which could be an area of concern.

The Bartlesville school district, which both schools are a part of, is ranked 145 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While Central Middle School outperforms the state averages in several test score metrics, both schools still have room for improvement, as their proficiency rates are generally lower than the state averages. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools may be contributing factors to their performance disparities.
