This school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 31% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state's 26%, and 25% proficient or better in math versus the state's 26%.

Elgin Middle School stands out for its strong performance among certain student subgroups. In 2024-2025, Hispanic students ranked 23rd out of 122 Oklahoma middle schools, and multi-racial students as well as those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds also performed well, ranking 22nd and 90th respectively among their state peer groups.

While Elgin Middle School is a high-performing institution, some nearby middle schools, such as Anadarko Middle School, Rush Springs Middle School, and several Lawton-area schools, have significantly lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This highlights the importance of Elgin Middle School in providing quality education to the local community.

Older reviews of this school are great. Unfortunately, Elgin Middle School is no longer that wonderful school you've read about. My child is miserable here. When he told me that the teachers were picking on him I dismissed it as my child being overly sensitive. When we finally had a conference with his teachers I saw it first hand. They're still going after him since the conference and the administration blindly sides with the teachers.
The academics meet the State standards, but I'd find an alternative to this middle school if I had it to do over again. Close Quote
