Summary

Del City Middle School is a public middle school serving 853 students in grades 6-8 in Del City, Oklahoma, which is part of the Midwest City-Del City school district. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Oklahoma, with proficiency rates in core subjects significantly below state and district averages.

Key challenges facing Del City Middle School include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, with 19-42% of students chronically absent in recent years, as well as a very high percentage (79%) of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American, Hispanic, and low-income student subgroups, indicating significant equity concerns. Nearby schools, such as Carl Albert Middle School and Santa Fe South Middle School, generally have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve more economically advantaged student populations.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Del City Middle School's resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. This suggests the school and Midwest City-Del City district need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning and address the persistent challenges facing the school.
