Summary

Duncan Middle School is a public middle school serving 734 students in grades 6-8 in Duncan, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Duncan School District, which is ranked 225 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Duncan Middle School generally performs above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The school also stands out in its performance for certain student subgroups, ranking 43rd out of 122 Oklahoma middle schools for Hispanic students and 23rd out of 84 middle schools for English Language Learner students. However, the school ranks lower, at 81st out of 108 middle schools, for its Special Education students.

While Duncan Middle School has historically performed well, there is a concerning trend of declining test scores in recent years. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.0% in 2023-2024 to 27.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. These challenges, along with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools, may be impacting the school's overall performance.
