Despite the school's consistent efforts, Perkins-Tryon Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in various OSTP (Oklahoma School Testing Program) assessments across grades 6-8 in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $7,701 in the 2018-2019 school year is lower than the nearby Wellston Middle School ($9,836) and Cushing Middle School ($9,196).

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Perkins-Tryon Middle School, with 52.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these socioeconomic factors, as well as learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, could provide valuable insights for Perkins-Tryon Middle School to improve its own performance and educational outcomes for its students.

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.
