Summary:

Curtis Inge Middle School is a public middle school located in Noble, Oklahoma, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 686 students. The school is part of the Noble School District, which is ranked 191 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, Curtis Inge Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average and nearby schools in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 42-49%, while the state average was 39-40%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were 30-33%, compared to the state average of 25-34%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, as it ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools for Hispanic, Native American, and White student performance in ELA and Mathematics in the 2020-2021 school year.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Curtis Inge Middle School generally underperforms. For example, Washington Middle School, which is only 8.63 miles away, consistently outperforms Curtis Inge in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, with significantly higher percentages of students meeting or exceeding standards. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Curtis Inge Middle School, ranging from 59.69% to 67.35% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success.

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.
