Longfellow Middle School

Summary:

Longfellow Middle School is a public middle school in Enid, Oklahoma, serving 503 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Enid School District, which is ranked 118 out of 144 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longfellow Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the Enid and Oklahoma state averages of 32% and 29%, respectively. The school also struggles with the academic performance of its subgroups, particularly Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Longfellow Middle School has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching nearly 94% in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the nearby schools, such as Dewitt Waller Middle School and Emerson Middle School, also face challenges, they generally outperform Longfellow Middle School in academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. The school's diverse student population, particularly the high percentage of Hispanic students, could be an asset if the school can develop targeted strategies to support their academic success. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 17:1 in 2022-2023 suggests potential for more individualized attention and support.

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.
