Middle Schools in Ninnekah

Ninnekah, Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, Ninnekah Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 139th out of 297 Oklahoma middle schools in 2014-2015 to 288th out of 369 in 2024-2025. This underperformance is reflected in the school's standardized test scores, which are consistently below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Ninnekah Middle School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (76.74% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025. These socioeconomic factors can have a substantial impact on student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $10,706 for the 2018-2019 school year may be a limiting factor in its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students.

Despite these challenges, the Ninnekah community remains committed to improving the quality of education for its middle school students. Addressing the school's performance issues, chronic absenteeism, and resource constraints will be crucial in ensuring that all students at Ninnekah Middle School have the opportunity to succeed academically and reach their full potential.
