Summary

Pawnee Middle School is a public middle school in Pawnee, Oklahoma, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 131 students. The school is part of the Pawnee School District, which is ranked 238 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pawnee Middle School faces several challenges, including declining performance over time and inconsistent academic achievement across subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Cleveland Middle School and Woodland Upper Elementary School. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state's target.

One potential strength of Pawnee Middle School is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 15 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 75.57% to 83.22% in recent years, suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions, focus on improving attendance, and explore ways to better support its student population.
