Middle Schools in Fort Towson

The Fort Towson Junior High School is the sole middle school serving the Fort Towson area. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it struggles academically, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below the state averages. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to its high-poverty student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Fort Towson Junior High School ranks 226 out of 369 Oklahoma middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages for 8th grade students. Furthermore, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's academic challenges, its per-student spending of $14,186 is higher than the state average. This, combined with the low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. However, the high-poverty environment and low academic performance indicate that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the poor student outcomes.
