McLoud Junior High School

Summary:

McLoud Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in McLoud, Oklahoma, with a student population of 289 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and a relatively low state ranking compared to nearby schools.

Academically, McLoud Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools, with only 43% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 22% of 7th-grade students and 12% of 8th-grade students meeting or exceeding the standards in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40%, 29%, and 25%, respectively. The school's spending per student ($7,940 in 2018-2019) is also lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Meeker Middle School ($9,591) and Jones Middle School ($8,317), which may contribute to the lower academic performance.

However, the school's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 11.3 to 15.0 students per teacher, may be a potential strength that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Native American and two or more races students, could be an asset if the school and district can effectively address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community. Comparing McLoud Junior High School to nearby schools, such as Meeker Middle School and Jones Middle School, which have higher academic performance and state rankings, could provide valuable insights for improving the school's 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.
