Summary:
The Owasso school district in Oklahoma is home to three middle schools: Owasso 7th Grade Center, Owasso 8th Grade Center, and Owasso 6th Grade Center. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and have a mix of strong and declining performance, with the 7th Grade Center and 6th Grade Center standing out as high-performing institutions.
The Owasso 7th Grade Center is a standout, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in Oklahoma with a 5-star rating in 2015-2016 and a 4-star rating in 2014-2015. The school's strong academic program is reflected in its impressive test scores, with 32% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in ELA and 40% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, the Owasso 8th Grade Center has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 61st out of 189 schools in 2023-2024 to 88th out of 369 schools in 2024-2025.
The Owasso 6th Grade Center also stands out, with impressive test scores in 2024-2025 (35% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA and 44% in Math) and strong performance in 2023-2024 (44% proficient or better in ELA and 52% in Math). However, all three Owasso middle schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (19.0% in 2024-2025) and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students (over 40% free/reduced lunch recipients).
