Summary:
Sallisaw, Oklahoma has one middle school, Sallisaw Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 62nd out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023 to 230th out of 369 in 2024-2025. While the school has seen some improvements in certain grade levels and subjects, its overall performance on standardized tests remains below the state average, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Sallisaw Middle School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 71.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, Sallisaw has one middle school that has faced performance challenges in recent years, with below-average test scores and a high-poverty student population. While the school's small class sizes may be a strength, targeted interventions and support will likely be necessary to improve academic outcomes and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
