Middle Schools in Colbert

Summary:

Colbert, Oklahoma is home to two middle schools: Ward Elementary School East and Colbert Middle School. While Ward Elementary School East has higher test scores compared to the Colbert district and state averages, particularly in science, Colbert Middle School lags behind in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Ward Elementary School East stands out with 54% of its students proficient or better in OSTP/Science in 2024-2025, compared to 43% for the Colbert district and 30% statewide. In contrast, only 14% of Colbert Middle School students were proficient or better in OSTP/ELA, lower than the 25% for Colbert and 26% statewide. Both schools face challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average.

The data suggests opportunities for the Colbert school district to learn from the practices and strategies used at the higher-performing Ward Elementary School East and apply them to Colbert Middle School. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility at both schools, over 80%, indicate a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations, which likely plays a role in the schools' academic outcomes and may require additional resources and support to address.
