Bridge Creek Middle School consistently performs above the state average in standardized test scores, with 46% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and Science, compared to state averages of 15% and 35%, respectively.

While Bridge Creek Middle School has maintained a strong academic performance overall, ranking 50 out of 149 middle schools in Oklahoma for the 2022-2023 school year, its performance for certain subgroups, such as students with disabilities, is less impressive, ranking 27 out of 34 Oklahoma middle schools for this subgroup in the 2020-2021 school year. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from a high of 13 out of 297 Oklahoma middle schools in the 2014-2015 school year to 50 out of 149 in the 2022-2023 school year, which could be an area of concern for the district to investigate and address.

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.
