Best Middle Schools in Oklahoma for African American Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Oklahoma!

Every year, the Oklahoma State Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, African American students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

Alert! We are expecting the release of this year's test scores by the Oklahoma State Department of Education any day now! We will update our rankings as soon as they are released!

Alert! New test scores and rankings are expected from the Oklahoma State Department of Education any day now!
