Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School

Summary:

Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School is a public charter virtual middle school located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 302 students. The school is part of the Bartlesville school district, which is ranked 104 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby traditional public schools like Barnsdall Middle School, Nowata Middle School, and Caney Valley Middle School, Oklahoma Connections Academy Middle School has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the state average, though it outperforms the state in 8th grade science. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a significantly higher student-teacher ratio than nearby traditional public schools.

While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it has generally declined, from a high of 99 out of 407 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 101 out of 149 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state. Additionally, the school's low-socioeconomic status students appear to be struggling academically, ranking 191 out of 278 middle schools in the state, despite the school's White students performing relatively well.

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.
