With a relatively small student population of 81 students, the school is part of the Barnsdall School District, which is ranked 137 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Barnsdall Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21% in math, the school faces some unique challenges. It has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.1% to 19.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.56% to 55.79%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Madison Middle School, Central Middle School, and Newman Middle School in the Bartlesville and Skiatook districts, Barnsdall Middle School's performance lags behind, with these schools generally having higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage could be key to improving outcomes for the students at Barnsdall Middle School.
