Belle Isle Middle School

Summary:

Belle Isle Middle School is a high-performing public middle school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 475 students in grades 5-8 with a diverse student population.

Belle Isle Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Oklahoma, with a statewide ranking as high as 15 out of 149 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the Oklahoma City and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, including English Language Arts and Science. This is particularly impressive given that 61.47% of Belle Isle's students come from low-income families, a higher percentage than the district average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 17.4 students per teacher, likely contributes to its academic success.

When compared to other middle schools in the Oklahoma City district, Belle Isle Middle School significantly outperforms its peers. For example, in 8th grade Science, Belle Isle had a 68% proficiency rate, compared to just 18% at the nearby John Marshall Middle School. This consistent high performance, even with a diverse student population, suggests that Belle Isle Middle School has implemented effective strategies to support the needs of all its students, making it a potential model for other schools in the area.

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.
