Summary:
The Boone-Apache district in Oklahoma has only one middle school, Apache Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its performance over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 142 out of 238 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 239 out of 407 in 2020-2021, and now ranks 261 out of 369 Oklahoma middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating.
Apache Middle School lags behind the Boone-Apache district and the state of Oklahoma in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics, where only 9% of students were proficient or better, compared to 15% for the district and 26% for the state. However, the school performs better in science, with 44% of students proficient or better, which is higher than the district (27%) and state (30%) averages.
The school has a relatively small student population of 107 students, with a high percentage (75.7%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may indicate challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and academic proficiency gaps could be crucial for ensuring the long-term success of Apache Middle School.
