Summary

Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School is a public charter virtual middle school serving grades 6-8 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The school has 292 students and is part of the Oklahoma Connections Academy (Charter) district, which is ranked 231 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is below the state average and lags behind nearby public schools like Barnsdall Middle School, Nowata Middle School, and Caney Valley Middle School. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 25% in English Language Arts (vs. 26% state average), 14% in Mathematics (vs. 26% state average), and 45% in Science (vs. 30% state average). The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 0.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

The school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.75% to 64.04% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes. The school's inconsistent performance and rankings over the years suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement. Overall, the data suggests that Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, particularly when compared to the nearby public schools.
