Summary:

Curtis Inge Middle School is a public middle school located in Noble, Oklahoma, serving 712 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Noble School District, which is ranked 152 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Curtis Inge Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1, which is lower than some nearby schools like Highland East Junior High (19.2) and Newcastle Middle School (18.9), the school's academic performance is generally below the state average. However, it does perform better than the Noble district average in certain subjects, such as 6th grade English Language Arts (33% proficient vs 33% district) and 6th grade Mathematics (31% proficient vs 31% district). The school also has a significantly higher percentage of White students (70.51%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations.

Over the past several years, Curtis Inge Middle School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 123 out of 332 Oklahoma middle schools in 2015-2016 to 109 out of 149 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Native American, and low-socioeconomic status students, is particularly low, with these groups ranking in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools. While the school's spending per student ($8,056) is higher than some nearby schools, such as Lexington Middle School ($6,402) and Washington Middle School ($6,664), it's unclear if this additional spending is translating into improved academic 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.
