Summary
Luther Middle School serves 256 students in grades 5–8 in the small community of Luther, Oklahoma. In 2025–2026, schoolwide proficiency was below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: 21% versus 26%, 14% versus 25%, and 25% versus 30%, respectively. Sixth grade was a relative bright spot, with ELA and math results above state rates, but the clearest concern is eighth-grade math: 0% met proficiency, compared with 17% statewide.
Compared with nearby schools, Luther’s strongest relative subject is ELA and its weakest is science: it ranks eighth of 11 schools in ELA, ninth in math, and tenth in science. Nearby-school averages are 27% in ELA, 26% in math, and 44% in science, putting Luther 6, 12, and 19 percentage points below those averages. Compared with the Luther district, the school is 1 point lower in ELA and 2 points lower in math, but 4 points higher in science. That makes science a relative strength against the district, even though it is Luther’s largest shortfall against nearby schools.
Recent results have not improved overall: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell from 23% to 21%, math stayed at 14%, and science fell from 31% to 25%. Chronic absenteeism moved in a more positive direction, dropping from 19% in 2024–2025 to 7% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 16%. SchoolDigger ranks Luther 252nd of 378 schools, at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, down from the 41st percentile the year before. Its student-teacher ratio is 18.9:1, the second-highest among nearby schools with data; 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White Students was at the 19th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, compared with overall school rankings at the 41st and 33rd percentiles, respectively.
