McLoud Junior High School

Summary:

McLoud Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in McLoud, Oklahoma, with 242 students enrolled. Based on the data provided, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, McLoud Junior High School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP assessments, is generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 25%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is lower than the nearby schools.

When comparing McLoud Junior High School to the nearby schools, such as Jones Middle School and Bethel Middle School, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically compared to its peers. Despite the school's challenges, the low student-teacher ratio and relatively lower spending per student may indicate potential opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.

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.
