Summary
In Apache, Oklahoma, Apache Middle School serves 112 students in grades 6–8 in the Boone-Apache district. The most urgent academic concern is eighth-grade Mathematics: the school reports 0% proficient, compared with 17% statewide and 4%–38% at nearby schools with results; it is below every nearby school in that comparison.
Science is the school’s relative strength, while English Language Arts I (ELA) and Mathematics lag behind. Across all grades, Science proficiency is 32%, above the state’s 30% and the district’s 25%, and about 2 points above the nearby-school average. Still, nearby Science results range from 11% to 47%, so the school is not among the top local performers. ELA is 12%, compared with 26% statewide, 19% in the district and a nearby average of about 20%; it is second-lowest among the eight schools. Mathematics is 11%, versus 25% statewide, 18% in the district and an 18% nearby average, also second-lowest locally. Seventh-grade ELA is another concern at 10%, 13 points below the state rate and lower than all six nearby schools with results.
Recent results are mixed: ELA fell 4 points to 12%, Mathematics rose 2 points to 11%, and Science dropped 12 points to 32%, narrowing its advantage over the state from 14 points to 2. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked the school 318th of 378 Oklahoma schools, at the 16th percentile with 1 star; its percentile standing fell 13 points from the prior year. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 16.4 in 2024–2025, above the nearby average of 14.1, and 84% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 68%. Chronic absenteeism improved to 12% in 2025–2026 from 19% the previous year, below the state’s 16% but above the district’s 6%. With 112 students, individual-year results may be more sensitive to the outcomes of a small number of students.
