Summary

Thomas Ies is a middle school located in Holdenville, Oklahoma, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 335 students. The school is part of the Holdenville School District, which is ranked 265 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomas Ies has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 88 and 306 out of 407 Oklahoma middle schools. However, the school generally outperforms the nearby Seminole Middle School and Wewoka Middle School in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.6% to 19.0% in recent years, which is a concern shared by the nearby schools.

One notable aspect of Thomas Ies is its relatively low per-student spending of $7,249 (2018-2019 school year), which is lower than the nearby Seminole Middle School ($8,576) and Wewoka Middle School ($10,553). However, the school has a better student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.6 in recent years, compared to the nearby schools. This suggests that Thomas Ies may be facing different funding challenges or allocating its resources differently.
