Summary:

The 74426 zip code is home to a single middle school, Checotah Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 316 students. Despite serving a student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Checotah Middle School is a relatively high-performing school, ranking in the top 20% of Oklahoma middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Checotah Middle School outperforms the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates.

The school also excelled in Science, with 48% of students proficient or better, compared to 44% for the district and 30% for the state.

While Checotah Middle School's overall performance is strong, there are areas for potential improvement. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% is relatively high, and the Mathematics proficiency rate, while still above the state average, is lower than the district average. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
