Summary

Rush Springs Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Rush Springs, Oklahoma, with 119 students. The school is part of the Rush Springs School District, which is ranked 264 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Rush Springs Middle School has struggled academically, consistently underperforming compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 13% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 9% were proficient in math, far below the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school has also grappled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 29% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting lower socioeconomic status compared to the state and nearby schools.

While Rush Springs Middle School spends more per student than the state average, its performance has declined significantly over the past several years, dropping from the 70th out of 332 Oklahoma middle schools in 2015-2016 to 289th out of 369 in 2024-2025. Nearby middle schools like Chickasha Middle School, Elgin Middle School, and Marlow Middle School generally outperform Rush Springs Middle School on academic measures, despite serving student populations with similar socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
