Central Middle School

Summary:

Central Middle School is a public middle school located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 669 students. The school is part of the Bartlesville School District, which is ranked 177 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Middle School has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the Bartlesville and Oklahoma state averages. While the school outperformed the Bartlesville and state averages in 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, its performance declined in higher grade levels, with 7th and 8th grade scores falling below the Bartlesville and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance for its white and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups was lower compared to its Hispanic and multi-racial subgroups.

Despite the declining performance trend, Central Middle School has shown the ability to achieve higher academic rankings in the past, reaching a top 40 statewide ranking as recently as 2010-2011. The school also has a higher per-student spending compared to the nearby Madison Middle School, and the student-teacher ratio has improved over the past few years. However, the significant increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school is serving a growing population of students from low-income families, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.

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.
