Summary

Located in Oologah, Oklahoma, Oologah-Talala Middle School serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 350 students in the Oologah-Talala district. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear contrast: science proficiency was strong, while English Language Arts (ELA) and math were below state and district results. The most important academic concern is grade 8 ELA, where 15% were proficient, compared with 20% statewide.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with both the state and district: 43% were proficient, versus 30% statewide and 36% in the district. ELA was 22% (state 26%, district 24%), and math was 21% (state 25%, district 24%). Grade 8 science was another bright spot at 43%, above the state’s 36% and the nearby-school average of 37%; grade 8 math was weaker, at 14% compared with 17% statewide. Results also vary by grade: grade 7 math was 29%, above the state’s 26% and the nearby-school average of 27%, while grade 6 math was 23%, below the state’s 26% and nearby average of 30%.

Recent results are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science rose from 26% to 43%, while ELA and math each slipped 1 point, to 22% and 21%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026; among nearby schools with reported rankings, it placed fourth of six. However, SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from 50 to 33 over those years, while the overall percentile rose; the latest subgroup result was 24 points below the school’s overall percentile, a notable difference in how well the school serves this group. The student-teacher ratio was 13.2 in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among 11 nearby schools, and 46% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Comparisons across schools are limited because nearby schools serve different grade spans, and SchoolDigger rankings are reported for only some nearby schools.
