Summary

Central Junior High School is a public middle school in Moore, Oklahoma, serving 597 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Moore School District, which is ranked 140 out of 452 districts in the state.

Central Junior High School faces significant academic challenges compared to its peers. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 19% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16% in mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.3% to 19.0% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 25th out of 49 Oklahoma middle schools for African American students, 65th out of 122 for Hispanic students, and 192nd out of 284 for students of low socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's underperformance, its per-student spending is comparable to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Southridge Junior High School, Brink Junior High School, and Highland East Junior High School, which consistently outperform Central Junior High School in academic achievement and overall school rankings. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and supporting the needs of its diverse student population may be crucial in improving the school's performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
