Sapulpa Middle School

Summary:

Sapulpa Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-7 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. With 476 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, the school faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance compared to the state average and nearby schools.

Sapulpa Middle School has consistently low academic performance, with only 43% of 6th graders and 37% of 7th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower proficiency rates in mathematics at 29% for 6th grade and 18% for 7th grade. This is significantly below the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.28% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's spending per student is slightly higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Clyde Boyd Middle School in Sand Springs and Jenks Middle School in Jenks, which have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings.

The declining performance of Sapulpa Middle School, with its statewide ranking dropping from 133 out of 297 schools in 2014-2015 to 151 out of 189 schools in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend. The school's low performance is particularly evident for its White and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma middle schools for these groups in the 2020-2021 school year. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive strategy, additional resources, and targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.

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.
