Summary

Moon Middle School is a public middle school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 658 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. Unfortunately, Moon Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools, with a ranking of 352 out of 369 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Moon Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the Oklahoma City and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

The school also struggles to serve its subgroups effectively, ranking 39 out of 49 Oklahoma middle schools for African American students, 101 out of 108 for special education students, and 268 out of 284 for low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Moon Middle School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.0% to 50.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Moon Middle School to the nearby Belle Isle Middle School, located just 3.23 miles away, it is clear that Belle Isle consistently ranks in the top 5-10% of Oklahoma middle schools and significantly outperforms Moon across all academic measures. Additionally, despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at Moon Middle School, the school's per-student spending of $8,352 in 2018-2019 is lower than the $9,482 spent at Taft Middle School, another nearby low-performing school, suggesting that resource allocation may be a contributing factor to Moon's struggles.
