Summary

Sallisaw Middle School serves grades 6–8 in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, and its 407 students make it the largest of the six nearby schools compared. Its latest results are mixed, with ELA somewhat stronger than math and science, but the most important concern is chronic absenteeism: 32% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 16% statewide, 31% in the Sallisaw district, and a 8% average at nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s clearest academic strength relative to nearby schools: 27% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, slightly above the state’s 26% and the nearby-school average of about 25%, though below the district’s 30%. Math and science are weaker. Math proficiency was 20%, 5 points below both the state and district and 7 points below the nearby average of 27%; it tied for the lowest result among the six schools. Science proficiency was 25%, below the state’s 30%, the district’s 29%, and the nearby average of 40%. It was the lowest science result among the six schools.

Test results improved in ELA and math from the prior year: ELA rose 4 points to 27%, and math rose 5 points to 20%; science slipped 1 point to 25%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling 8 points from 40% to 32%, but remains well above nearby schools. SchoolDigger rates the school at 3 stars and the 55th percentile statewide, up from the 38th percentile and 2 stars the prior year; it ranks 171 of 378 schools and sits around the middle of its nearby group. The student-teacher ratio is 13.7, below the nearby average of 14.5. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 66% of enrollment in 2024–2025, compared with a 74% average at nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking shows a notably higher standing for how well the school serves Native American students: the group ranked at the 93rd percentile, up from the 43rd percentile the year before, versus the school’s overall 55th percentile. Its standing for White students was lower, at the 24th percentile.
