Academically, Meeker Middle School's performance is mixed compared to state averages.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% is also higher than the state average, which can negatively impact student learning.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as 59.76% of Meeker Middle School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively disadvantaged population. However, the school's per-student spending of $9,591 is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is lower than the state average. By addressing the identified challenges, such as improving curriculum and instructional strategies, particularly in ELA and science, and implementing strategies to improve attendance, Meeker Middle School can work towards better serving its students and improving their academic outcomes.
