Summary:
The city of Spiro, Oklahoma is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Spiro Elementary School, Spiro High School, and Spiro Middle School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation and a majority White student body.
Among the three schools, Spiro Middle School stands out as the strongest performer academically, ranking 258 out of 407 Oklahoma middle schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in 7th-grade mathematics proficiency, with 37% of students scoring proficient or better compared to the state average of 24%. This may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8. Spiro High School also shows promising results, achieving 40% proficiency in 11th-grade English Language Arts and U.S. History, which is higher than the state's middle school performance in those subjects.
Despite the diverse student population and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 62.76% to 76.36%), the schools in Spiro have room for improvement in overall academic achievement and school performance. The low state-wide rankings and 1- or 2-star ratings for all three schools suggest that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to address these areas and enhance educational outcomes for the Spiro community.
