Rector Johnson Middle School

Summary:

Rector Johnson Middle School is a public middle school in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, serving 337 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Broken Bow School District, which is ranked 263 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Rector Johnson Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 36% 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 24% of 6th-graders, 30% of 7th-graders, and 26% of 8th-graders meeting or exceeding the standards, compared to the state averages of 34%, 29%, and 25%, respectively. The school's performance on standardized tests is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school ranking lower than nearby Wright City Junior High School and Idabel Middle School.

Despite the school's academic challenges, there may be opportunities for improvement. Rector Johnson Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools suggests that there may be resources available to invest in targeted interventions and support programs. However, the high percentage of students from low-income families at Rector Johnson Middle School, with 84.87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles and may require additional support and resources to address these socioeconomic factors.

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.
