Cordell Junior High School has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Oklahoma, with rankings ranging from 3rd to 97th out of 369 schools in recent years.

Cordell's 7th-grade students have consistently outperformed the state average in both ELA and Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 34% and 33%, respectively, in 2024-2025.

Compared to the nearby Hobart Middle School and Clinton Middle School, Cordell Junior High School generally outperforms these schools on state assessments and has a higher ranking among Oklahoma middle schools. However, the nearby schools also serve a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their lower academic performance. Additionally, Cordell Junior High School has experienced a relatively high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.0% to 21.6% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and may be an area of concern for the school.
