When comparing Astec Charter Middle School to the nearby public middle schools, such as Belle Isle Middle School, which is only 2.54 miles away and ranked 15th out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023, it becomes clear that the charter school is significantly underperforming academically. Astec Charter Middle School's performance has not shown significant improvement over the years, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oklahoma middle schools since 2015-2016. The high percentages of economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner students at Astec Charter Middle School may contribute to the school's low academic performance, as these student populations often require additional resources and targeted interventions to support their learning needs.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
