Seminole Middle School

Summary:

Seminole Middle School is a public middle school serving 206 students in grades 7-8 in Seminole, Oklahoma, a diverse community in the central part of the state. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 36% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 37% in Mathematics, and 27% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40%, 25%, and 35% respectively.

Seminole Middle School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 76.7% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's low ranking, placing 134th out of 189 middle schools in Oklahoma in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to nearby schools, such as Thomas Ies and Northwood Elementary School, Seminole Middle School's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

However, Seminole Middle School's diverse student population, with 15.53% of students identifying as Native American and 33.01% as two or more races, is a unique asset that sets it apart from the nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the challenges the school faces.

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.
