Summary:
The 73047 zip code in Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, Hinton Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While this school is the only option for middle schoolers in this area, its performance has been declining in recent years, ranking 277 out of 369 Oklahoma middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hinton Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and academic proficiency rates that fall well below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, English Language Arts proficiency ranged from 9% to 29%, compared to the state average of 26%, while Mathematics proficiency ranged from 0% to 29%, again below the state average of 26%. The school also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 79.9%.
Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, Hinton Middle School's academic performance continues to struggle, suggesting that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio may be contributing to the school's challenges. Further investigation into the school's specific needs, resource allocation, and strategies for improvement would be necessary to identify the root causes of the school's performance and determine how best to support its students and teachers.
