Middle Schools in Woodward

Woodward, Oklahoma is home to two middle schools - Woodward Middle School North Campus and Woodward Middle School South Campus - that serve students in grades 6-8. While both schools face challenges in academic performance and attendance, the data suggests the South Campus is outperforming the North Campus on several key metrics.

The Woodward Middle School South Campus has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking in recent years, but has made progress, moving from 100 out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023 to 133 out of 369 in 2024-2025. In contrast, the Woodward Middle School North Campus has consistently lower test scores compared to the Woodward district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. The North Campus also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 69.76% in 2023-2024, compared to 63.56% at the South Campus. Additionally, the North Campus spends less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio, which does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the performance gaps between the two Woodward middle schools.
