Southeast Middle School

Summary:

Southeast Middle School is a public middle school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 641 students in grades 5-8. The school has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools in recent years due to low academic achievement, high poverty rates, and high student-teacher ratios.

Despite these struggles, Southeast Middle School stands out in several key areas. Academically, the school outperforms the Oklahoma City and state averages in proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 65% of 5th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 23% in Oklahoma City and 46% statewide. Similarly, 52% of 5th graders were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 16% in Oklahoma City and 37% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, lower than some nearby schools like Brink Junior High School (19.9) and Jefferson Middle School (18.1).

The high poverty rates at Southeast Middle School, with 95.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, are a significant challenge. However, this trend is not unique to Southeast, as the surrounding middle schools in the Oklahoma City district, such as Capitol Hill, Wheeler, and Roosevelt, also have very high poverty rates and low academic performance, suggesting a broader systemic issue within the district. Despite these challenges, Southeast Middle School's strong performance in certain subgroups, such as English Language Learners, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio indicate that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve overall 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.
