Summary

Altus Junior High School serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 533 students in Altus, Oklahoma. Its latest results show a clear split between subjects: science is a strength compared with state and district results, while math proficiency is the school’s clearest academic concern, at 20% versus 25% statewide and 29% in the district.

Compared with the state and the Altus district, science stands out: 42% of students were proficient, 12 points above the state and 13 points above the district. Math was 5 points below the state and 9 below the district; ELA was 1 point below the state and 4 below the district. Against the nearby, same-grade-span Navajo Junior High School, Altus was 1 point higher in ELA, but 9 points lower in both math and science.
