Astec Charter Middle School

Summary:

Astec Charter Middle School is a public charter school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 372 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Astec Charters district, which is ranked 315 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Astec Charter Middle School consistently performs below the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 18% of 6th-graders, 14% of 7th-graders, and 18% of 8th-graders meeting or exceeding the standards. The school's performance on standardized tests also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for English Language Learner students but much lower for Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students.

In contrast to Astec Charter Middle School, the nearby Belle Isle Middle School, part of the Oklahoma City Public Schools district, has consistently been one of the top-performing middle schools in the state, ranking as high as 15 out of 149 in 2022-2023. Belle Isle's students significantly outperform the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The relatively low spending per student at Astec Charter Middle School, compared to nearby public schools, may indicate a lack of adequate funding and resources to support the school's educational programs and student 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.
