Summary

Quapaw Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the small town of Quapaw, Oklahoma, with an enrollment of 139 students. However, the school faces significant challenges, as it consistently underperforms academically compared to the state average and nearby schools.

Quapaw Middle School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 17% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 8% in Mathematics, and 19% in Science in the 2024-2025 school year, all well below the state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 19% in the same year. Additionally, a large majority (71.22% in 2023-2024) of Quapaw Middle School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools, with a ranking of 296 out of 369 in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Bluejacket Middle School, Welch Middle School, and Fairland Middle School, Quapaw Middle School performs significantly worse on academic measures. For example, in 2024-2025, Welch Middle School had 20% of students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to Quapaw's 17%. The school's declining performance over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 150 out of 332 in 2015-2016 to 296 out of 369 in 2024-2025, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
