Summary

Central Middle School stands out for its exceptional science program, with 65% of students proficient in science—33 points above the state average and 16 points above the Edmond district average, the highest among comparable local schools like Cheyenne Middle School (59%) and Sequoyah Middle School (56%). The school also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide (5th out of 108 schools), and maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1%, which is below the state average of 19.0% and the district average of 13.1%. However, there is a notable drop in 8th-grade math proficiency, with only 20% of students proficient, compared to 43% in 6th grade and 45% in 7th grade, suggesting a need for targeted support in advanced math concepts.

Compared to nearby schools, Central demonstrates sustained excellence, while others like Cheyenne Middle School and Sequoyah Middle School have shown recent improvement, moving from 3-star to 5-star ratings. Central also achieves high performance despite spending $8,626 per student, less than Deer Creek Middle School ($8,985) and Sequoyah Middle School ($8,517), indicating efficient resource use. In contrast, schools in the Oklahoma City district, such as John Marshall Middle School, face significant challenges with high poverty and absenteeism rates, highlighting the impact of school district boundaries on student experiences.
