Pryor Middle School

Summary:

Pryor Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation (around 25-28%) and a sizable percentage of students identifying as two or more races (around 17-21%). Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state average in some subjects, such as 8th grade Science, but below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American and multi-racial students performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide, but students with disabilities performing among the lowest in the state.

Pryor Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has generally trended downward, from a high of 81 out of 233 Oklahoma middle schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 122 out of 171 in 2021-2022, before improving slightly to 94 out of 149 in the most recent year. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than some nearby middle schools, such as Chelsea Middle School and Inola Middle School, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Sequoyah Middle School and Adair Middle School. Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not appear to reflect this additional investment.

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.
