Summary:

Tecumseh Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Tecumseh, Oklahoma, with a student population of 451. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 176 out of 189 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tecumseh Middle School significantly underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10% of 6th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 34%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, Tecumseh Middle School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which is higher than the nearby schools and the state average.

Tecumseh Middle School's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 147 out of 297 schools in 2014-2015 to 176 out of 189 schools in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for significant interventions to improve academic outcomes. Compared to nearby schools, such as Dale Middle School and North Rock Creek Middle School, Tecumseh Middle School's performance lags behind, with higher academic proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Tecumseh Middle School could be a key focus for improvement efforts.

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.
