Summary

Durant Middle School is a public middle school serving 609 students in grades 7-8 in Durant, Oklahoma, which is part of the Durant school district. The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but stronger performance in Science. However, the school has seen strong results for some student subgroups, ranking highly for Hispanic, Native American, and low-socioeconomic status students in certain subjects.

While Durant Middle School's overall academic performance has fluctuated over the years, it generally outperforms nearby schools like Kingston Middle School and Colbert Middle School on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school has struggled with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to these neighboring schools. Additionally, the school spends more per student than the nearby Durant Intermediate Elementary School, suggesting the need to examine how these resources are allocated and their impact on student outcomes.

By focusing on consistent academic performance, addressing chronic absenteeism, and leveraging the success of its high-performing student subgroups, Durant Middle School has the potential to become a stronger educational institution for the Durant community. The school's strengths in Science and for specific student populations provide a solid foundation to build upon and potentially replicate across other academic areas.
