Middle Schools in Beggs

Beggs, Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, Beggs Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school stands out for its strong academic performance in science, with 64% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the OSTP/Science assessment, significantly outpacing the state average of 35%. However, Beggs Middle School faces unique challenges as it serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Beggs Middle School's student body is racially diverse, with a majority White population (55.4%) and significant representation from Native American (16.72%) and multiracial (13.24%) students. This diversity could be an asset, providing opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and inclusive learning environments. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 117th out of 171 Oklahoma middle schools in 2021-2022 to 252nd out of 407 in 2020-2021, suggesting the need for further investigation into the factors driving these changes.

Overall, Beggs is home to a single middle school that is performing well academically, particularly in science, but faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's diverse student population and fluctuating statewide ranking warrant further analysis to support its continued improvement and success.
