Summary:
Tonkawa has one middle school, Tonkawa Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 194 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 15% in ELA I, 16% in mathematics, and 32% in science; statewide, the results were 26%, 25%, and 30%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that science is a modest strength, but the school’s overall results remain below the state’s, with its three-subject average 6 percentage points lower.
Because it is the only school in the area, Tonkawa Middle School is technically both the highest- and lowest-scoring school locally, but that is not a meaningful comparison. Against the state, science stands out positively at 32% proficient versus 30%, while ELA I is 15% versus 26% and mathematics is 16% versus 25%. The sharpest grade-level concern is seventh-grade ELA I: 8% were proficient, compared with 23% statewide. Sixth-grade mathematics is much closer to the state result, at 25% versus 26%.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA I rose from 13% to 15%, mathematics from 10% to 16%, and science from 23% to 32%. The school’s average gap from the state narrowed from 12 percentage points to 6. SchoolDigger’s percentile position also rose, from the 10th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 27th in 2025–2026, though its latest rating is 1 star. Other context includes a 16.8 student–teacher ratio and 70% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was listed at 0% in 2025–2026, compared with 16% statewide. With only one school in the area, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison.
