Summary

Ada Junior High School serves 581 students in grades 7–9 in Ada, Oklahoma. Its latest results show a marked contrast across subjects: science proficiency is above both state and district levels, while English Language Arts I (ELA I) and math are below them. The most important finding for families is that science is a clear strength, but ELA and especially math are the school’s most pressing academic concerns.

In 2025–2026, all-grades science proficiency was 41%, compared with 30% statewide and 32% in the Ada district. ELA I was 15% (11 percentage points below the state and 8 below the district), and math was 12% (13 below the state and 8 below the district). Grade-level comparisons also put Ada near the bottom of nearby schools in ELA and math: grade 7 ELA was 14% versus a nearby-school average of 28%, and grade 8 math was 12% versus 32%. Eighth-grade science was 41%, 5 points above the state result for that grade, though below the nearby-school average of 45%.

Results moved in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA I fell from 19% to 15% and math from 17% to 12%, while science rose from 36% to 41%. SchoolDigger ranked Ada at the 35th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, down 14 percentile points from the prior year. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13.4 in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among nearby middle-grade schools; only Stratford Middle School was lower, at 13.2. In 2024–2025, 59% of Ada students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 70%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves special education students dropped sharply, from the 71st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 14th in 2025–2026. Test trends cover only two school years, so they show recent movement rather than a long-term pattern.
