Shawnee Middle School

Summary:

Shawnee Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with a student population of 711. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with a predominantly White (45.99%) student body, as well as significant percentages of Native American (11.25%) and students of two or more races (22.22%). However, Shawnee Middle School has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools over the past decade and currently holding a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Shawnee Middle School struggles, with only 10% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 9% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, and 18% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Science, all significantly lower than the state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Prague Middle School, McLoud Junior High School, and Bethel Middle School, which range from 45.35% to 74.93% free or reduced-price lunch recipients.

The challenges faced by Shawnee Middle School appear to be unique to the school or district, as the nearby middle schools generally outperform it on academic measures and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the underperformance of certain student subgroups, such as White students, multi-racial students, and low-socioeconomic status students, suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the school's academic outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
