Spiro Middle School

Summary:

Spiro Middle School is a public middle school serving 202 students in grades 6-8 in Spiro, Oklahoma, which is part of the Arkoma School District. The school faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a predominantly low-income community.

Spiro Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, with only 35-42% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27-38% proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 6-8. The school's racial makeup is diverse, with a higher percentage of Native American students (28.22%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 2.83% to 36.17% Native American. Despite these challenges, Spiro Middle School's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 12.8 to 14.9 over the past 3 years, which is lower than most of the nearby schools, such as Arkoma Middle School and Roland Middle School.

Spiro Middle School's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 120 out of 238 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 131 out of 189 in 2023-2024, and its star rating dropping from 3 to 2. While the school's performance is generally lower than the state averages, it is comparable to or slightly better than some of the nearby middle schools that also serve economically disadvantaged communities. To improve student outcomes, Spiro Middle School may benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the area of Mathematics, where the school's performance is particularly low.

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.
