Spiro Middle School

Summary:

Spiro Middle School is a public middle school in Spiro, Oklahoma, serving 227 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Spiro School District, which is ranked 234 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Spiro Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to nearby schools like Sallisaw Middle School and Pansy Kidd Middle School. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, from 120 out of 238 Oklahoma middle schools in 2016-2017 to 131 out of 189 in 2023-2024. However, Spiro Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is lower than nearby schools like Arkoma Middle School (23.1).

One notable factor is that Spiro Middle School serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite these obstacles, the school's lower spending per student compared to nearby schools suggests potential opportunities for targeted interventions and support 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.
