Middle Schools in Oklahoma City

The data set covers 15 middle schools located in Oklahoma City, serving students in grades 6-8. These schools represent a mix of public institutions with varying levels of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.

Among the standout schools, Classen Middle School Of Advanced Studies and Belle Isle Middle School consistently rank among the top middle schools in the state, with 5-star ratings and significantly higher test scores than the Oklahoma City and state averages. In contrast, schools like Webster Middle School and Rogers Middle School struggle with very low proficiency rates, often in the single digits.

The data also reveals a wide range in school size, from the small Putnam Heights Academy Middle School with just 23 students to the large Taft Middle School with over 1,000 students. Additionally, many of the schools have high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these institutions. Addressing attendance issues, which are alarmingly high across all the schools, should also be a top priority.
