Summary:
The Midwest City-Del City area of Oklahoma is home to three middle schools: Midwest City Middle School, Carl Albert Middle School, and Del City Middle School. Based on the available data, Carl Albert Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the group, with significantly better academic proficiency rates, a higher statewide ranking, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Carl Albert Middle School had proficiency rates of 39-46% in English Language Arts and 37-38% in Mathematics, far exceeding the performance of Midwest City Middle School, which had proficiency rates of just 23-25% in ELA and 6-12% in Math. Del City Middle School did not have available data for these metrics. Additionally, Carl Albert's statewide ranking of 130 out of 189 Oklahoma middle schools is much higher than the 189th ranking for Midwest City Middle School and the 147th ranking for Del City Middle School.
While Carl Albert Middle School stands out, the Midwest City-Del City school district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with all three middle schools having proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subjects. This suggests a need for the district to examine its curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to improve student outcomes across the board. The high free/reduced lunch rates at Midwest City Middle School and Del City Middle School also indicate that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may require additional support and resources to address their unique needs.
