Summary

Shawnee Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, part of the Shawnee School District. With 705 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools over the past decade, currently holding a 2-star rating.

Shawnee Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with only 22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 14% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 33.6% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority of students, 81.42% to 85.53%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 12.3-13.9, and its per-student spending of $9,014 is higher than nearby schools, these factors have not translated into better academic outcomes.

In comparison, nearby schools like Prague Middle School, Meeker Middle School, and Bethel Middle School demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher rankings, suggesting that Shawnee Middle School could benefit from examining their practices and strategies to improve student outcomes.
