Summary

Mary Golda Ross Middle School is a public middle school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 709 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Oklahoma City School District, which is ranked 389 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in the same district, Mary Golda Ross Middle School consistently performs significantly below the Oklahoma City and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 4% in ELA, 2% in Math, and 5% in Science, compared to the Oklahoma City averages of 15%, 12%, and 16%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is also extremely low compared to state and district averages.

When comparing Mary Golda Ross Middle School to nearby schools in the district, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. For instance, Classen Middle School of Advanced Studies, located just a few miles away, consistently ranks among the top schools in the state and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. While the current performance of Mary Golda Ross Middle School is concerning, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement, as demonstrated by the higher proficiency rates at nearby Santa Fe South West Middle School, a public charter school.
