Jay Middle School

Summary:

Jay Middle School is a public middle school in Jay, Oklahoma, serving 214 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Jay School District, which is ranked 216 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jay Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in OSTP Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades were 28% and 35%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 29% and 25%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in OSTP English Language Arts I for 7th and 8th grades were 20% and 18%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 21% and 20%. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges.

While Ketchum Middle School, Kansas Middle School, Grove Middle School, and Grove Upper Elementary School have higher student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student compared to Jay Middle School, these factors do not seem to be translating into better academic performance. The school may need to focus on improving the quality of instruction, curriculum, and support services to drive academic improvement.

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.
