Summary:
The 73026 zip code contains a single middle school, Little Axe Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some strengths, particularly in science proficiency, it faces significant challenges in core academic areas and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Little Axe Middle School has an enrollment of 265 students and is ranked 317 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma, with a 2 out of 5 star rating. The school's performance is concerning, with only 19% of students proficient in ELA and 8% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. However, the school excels in science, with 61% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better, well above the state average of 36%.
The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support. Despite a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1, the school's per-student spending of $8,190 is lower than the state average, which may limit its ability to provide the necessary resources and interventions to improve student learning and achievement.
