Inola Middle School

Summary:

Inola Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Inola, Oklahoma, with a student population of 275. The school is part of the Inola School District, which is ranked 119 out of 144 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inola Middle School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 112 out of 539 Oklahoma middle schools in 2009-2010 to 145 out of 189 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, such as 8th grade Math, where the proficiency rate is 21% compared to the state average of 25%. Additionally, Inola Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.36% to 47.08% over the past few years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Sequoyah Middle School (36.36%) and Oneta Ridge Middle School (36.58%).

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 13.8 over the past few years, and a higher spending per student of $9,262, which is higher than some nearby schools like Donald P Sloat Junior High School ($6,472) and Sequoyah Middle School ($7,691), Inola Middle School's overall performance is generally lower than these nearby schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.

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.
