Owasso 8th Grade Center's test scores are generally above the state average but below the overall Owasso district average. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 25% of students proficient or better in ELA and 23% in Math, compared to the Owasso district averages of 36% and 40% respectively, and the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school performs well for some subgroups, such as African American and Native American students, but Asian and special education students perform relatively poorly. Owasso 8th Grade Center has also seen higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.5% to 19.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other Owasso middle schools, such as the 7th Grade Center and 6th Grade Center, Owasso 8th Grade Center generally performs worse on test scores and other metrics. However, the school stands out as a relatively strong performer when compared to lower-performing schools in the Tulsa and Catoosa districts. The school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 11th in 2016-2017 to 88th in 2024-2025, indicating a potential need to address the factors contributing to this trend.
