Bristow Middle School has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Native American students (25.79%) compared to the state average. However, the school has consistently underperformed academically, with only 22% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, 57.89% of Bristow Middle School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools, such as Mannford Middle School (48.21%) and Beggs Middle School (72.47%). This suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its academic struggles.

Bristow Middle School's academic performance has been declining over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from a 3-star rating and a ranking of 86 out of 228 Oklahoma middle schools in 2018-2019 to a 0-star rating and a ranking of 137 out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. While Bristow Middle School faces significant challenges, nearby schools like Mannford Middle School and Beggs Middle School have higher academic performance and better school rankings, which could provide valuable insights for Bristow Middle School to learn from.

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.
