Commerce Middle School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 12% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 10% in Mathematics, far below the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.6% to 19.0% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, a large proportion of students, 84.44% in 2023-2024, come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, well above the state average.

While some nearby schools, such as Fairland Middle School and Welch Middle School, perform better than Commerce Middle School, others, like Wyandotte Middle School and Quapaw Middle School, also struggle with low academic achievement and high poverty rates. Commerce Middle School's declining performance and challenges in keeping up with state averages suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
