Summary

Ardmore Middle School is a public middle school serving 326 students in grades 7-8 in Ardmore, Oklahoma, which is part of the Ardmore School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools over the past decade, with academic performance well below the state average.

Ardmore Middle School faces significant challenges, including low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (16%) and Mathematics (11%), which are significantly lower than the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19% to 32.1% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 80.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, well above the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Jefferson Elementary (which feeds into Ardmore Middle), as well as Marietta Middle, Dickson Middle, Lone Grove Middle, and Plainview Middle, Ardmore Middle School consistently underperforms, with no clear signs of improvement over the past several years. The school's low spending per student and relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.
