Summary

Fort Towson Junior High School is a small public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the rural town of Fort Towson, Oklahoma, with a student population of just 51 students. The school is part of the Fort Towson school district, which is ranked 382 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, it faces some significant challenges. Fort Towson Junior High School has seen fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.3% to 19.0% in recent years, which is on par with the state average. Academically, the school has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state and the nearby Fort Towson district. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were lower than the state averages in English Language Arts (20% vs. 21%), Mathematics (6% vs. 17%), and Science (33% vs. 36%). In comparison, the nearby Wright City Junior High School had higher proficiency rates in Science for all grades.

Another significant challenge for Fort Towson Junior High School is the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.78% to 100% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Rattan Junior High School (76.36%) and Wright City Junior High School (74.36%), suggesting that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Addressing attendance issues, improving academic performance, and leveraging the school's strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio, could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
