Wagoner Middle School

Summary:

Wagoner Middle School is a public middle school serving 469 students in grades 6-8 in Wagoner, Oklahoma, which is part of the Wagoner School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Wagoner Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with 47.55% White, 8.1% African American, 4.9% Hispanic, 13.65% Native American, and 25.59% two or more races. However, the school has struggled academically, with only 17% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 9% in Mathematics, and 40% in Science - all significantly lower than the state averages. This academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools, such as Hilldale Middle School, Chouteau-Mazie Middle School, and Fort Gibson Middle School.

Wagoner Middle School also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 70.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the nearby schools. This high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional challenges that can impact their academic performance. To address these issues, Wagoner Middle School may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to better meet the needs of its diverse student population, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics.

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.
