Middle Schools in Roland

Roland has one middle school, Roland Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 186 students. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed against Oklahoma: the school was slightly ahead in science, close to the state in math, and behind in English Language Arts (ELA). The most important takeaway is that its strongest overall subject is science, at 32% proficient compared with 30% statewide, while ELA is its largest all-grades shortfall, at 21% compared with 26%.

Within the school, eighth-grade ELA and sixth-grade math stand out positively: both were 7 percentage points above the state, with results of 27% versus 20% in eighth-grade ELA and 33% versus 26% in sixth-grade math. The weakest comparisons were seventh-grade ELA, 17% versus 23% statewide (6 points below), and eighth-grade math, 15% versus 17% (2 points below). These grade-level contrasts matter: despite the school’s overall science advantage, eighth-grade science was 32%, 4 points below the state’s 36%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 174th of 378 schools, at the 54th percentile, and gives it 3 stars.

Results changed little overall between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, with subject averages rounding to 26% at the school and 27% statewide in both years. ELA rose 1 point to 21%, while the state stayed at 26%; math stayed at 24% as the state slipped 1 point to 25%; and science fell 2 points to 32% as the state stayed at 30%. The science advantage narrowed from 4 points to 2, while the ELA and math gaps each improved by 1 point. Other context measures: 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 9% at the school, versus 12% in the district and 16% statewide; 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 16.6 that year.
