Lindsay Middle School

Summary:

Lindsay Middle School is a public middle school serving 310 students in grades 5-8 in Lindsay, Oklahoma, which is part of the Lindsay School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 students per teacher, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lindsay Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were 32% for 5th grade and 35% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 46% and 40%, respectively. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 36% for 5th grade and 31% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 37% and 25%. However, the school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 48% was significantly higher than the state average of 35%. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.58% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic performance challenges.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Purcell Junior High School and Washington Middle School have generally higher academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in several subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Dibble Middle School, about 14 miles away, has shown significant improvement in recent years, ranking 39th out of 189 Oklahoma middle schools and earning a 4-star rating in 2023-2024. These comparisons suggest that there may be opportunities for Lindsay Middle School to learn from the successes of its neighboring schools and implement targeted interventions to improve its academic performance.

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.
