Newman Middle School

Summary:

Newman Middle School is a public middle school located in Skiatook, Oklahoma, serving 505 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Skiatook School District, which is ranked 130 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newman Middle School has consistently outperformed the state average in OSTP (Oklahoma School Testing Program) assessments across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were 52% for 6th grade, 49% for 7th grade, and 51% for 8th grade, compared to the state average of 39%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 44% for 6th grade, 30% for 7th grade, and 31% for 8th grade, compared to the state average of 34%, 29%, and 25%, respectively. However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.6% in 2021-2022 to 49.7% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, Newman Middle School generally outperforms the Tulsa Public Schools district in test scores, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. However, it lags behind the Owasso Public Schools district, which has several highly-ranked middle schools in the area. Additionally, Newman Middle School's performance on OSTP assessments varies across different student subgroups, suggesting the need to address achievement gaps and provide targeted support for underperforming subgroups. The school's spending per student ($8,571 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the state average, which may impact its ability to provide comprehensive educational resources and support for its students.

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.

I have gotten bullied, and all the school does is turn a blind eye. if you are getting bullied just get an attorney. Close Quote

Both my children attended Newman Middle School and I appreciate the programs they implemented to teach them as well as myself how to recognize and cope with bullying. That age is so hard for both kids and parents and the principal really showed me how to let my kids grow up with proper guidance. My kids have been successful in high school due to the foundation they obtained in middle school. Their teachers cared about them and taught them how to be good citizens. I know there were other students that had issues, but I was able to have good teachable moments at home when we talked about them and then my kids did not have to make the same mistakes the others did to learn what not to do!

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.
