Duncan Middle School

Summary:

Duncan Middle School is a public middle school in Duncan, Oklahoma, serving 734 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Duncan School District, which is ranked 225 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duncan Middle School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state average, such as 6th grade math and 8th grade science, while underperforming in other areas, particularly in English Language Arts across all grades. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.53% to 71.8%, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the student-teacher ratio has improved over the years, decreasing from 17 to 15.3, suggesting a more favorable learning environment.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Marlow Middle School consistently outperforms Duncan Middle School on state assessments and has a higher 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Comanche Middle School has shown more consistent performance with 3-star ratings. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and low-socioeconomic status students, is generally in the middle range compared to other Oklahoma middle schools. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, the concerning decline in proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.

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.
