Summary

Velma-Alma Middle School serves 90 students in grades 6–8 in Velma, Oklahoma. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger places it at the 31st percentile statewide, rank 262 of 378, with 2 stars; the Velma-Alma district ranks at the 58th percentile, with 3 stars. The clearest concern is English Language Arts I: just 17% of students were proficient, compared with 26% statewide and 31% in the district.

Compared with nearby schools serving grades 6–8, science is Velma-Alma’s strongest subject and English Language Arts I its weakest. Science proficiency was 30%, matching the state and about 1 point above the nearby-school average of 29%, though 13 points below the district’s 43%. In ELA, the school’s 17% was 2 points below the nearby average of 19%, 9 points below the state, and 14 points below the district. Math was also behind: 16% proficiency was 6 points below the nearby average of 22%, 9 below the state’s 25%, and 7 below the district’s 23%. Among five nearby schools with SchoolDigger rankings, Velma-Alma ranked second-lowest.

Results show little recent improvement in ELA and a small decline in math: ELA remained at 17% in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while math fell from 18% to 16%. The district’s ELA score rose from 26% to 31% over those years. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking was much higher in 2021–2022, at the 78th percentile, but that ranking covered 167 schools, compared with 378 in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students was at the 48th percentile in 2021–2022 and the 21st percentile in 2023–2024, a 27-point decline; no overall ranking for 2023–2024 is supplied for comparison. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 10.3 in 2024–2025, the lowest among six nearby schools, and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest share among those schools.
