Cache Ms, Cache OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Cache Ms

Cache Middle School is the only public middle school in the Cache school district, serving grades five through eight for the town of Cache and its surrounding area. Located in southwestern Oklahoma, Cache is a small exurb of Lawton situated just south of the Fort Sill Military Reservation. The school sits near the town center, within walking distance of both the elementary and high school, and the district itself is a major local employer. The housing market in Cache is dominated by single-family homes, with values below the national average and modest growth in recent years, consistent with its role as a bedroom community.

The student body of about 600 is diverse in composition but predominantly white, with a substantial share of students identifying as two or more races, a notable Hispanic population, and smaller groups of American Indian, Black, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. Data on economic disadvantage, special education, and English learner status were not available, so a parent may want to look into these aspects further with the school.

Academically, the most recent state testing results reveal a mixed picture. In mathematics, proficiency rates hovered around roughly a quarter of students across the tested grades, with one grade level’s result suppressed for privacy reasons. English language arts performance was somewhat higher, with about a third of students reaching proficiency in each grade. Science stood out as the strongest subject: roughly half of fifth graders scored proficient, and eighth graders also posted a solid performance, though lower than fifth grade. Overall, the school’s combined proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades placed it above the midpoint relative to other districts in Comanche County, meaning it exceeds the typical performance for the area but is not among the top tier.

Because Cache Middle School serves only grades five through eight, there is no graduation rate to report. The school operates as a traditional public school, not a charter or magnet, and though Title I status was not indicated in the available data, many schools in similar contexts do receive such funding. No information on discipline, attendance, or staffing was provided, and the district brief turned up no recent programmatic or operational changes of lasting significance to parents.

For a family considering this school, the academic picture is one where science teaching appears to be a relative strength, while math and English remain areas where many students are not yet reaching proficiency. The peer environment reflects the broader demographics of Cache, a small, car-dependent community where most residents own their homes and public transit is absent. The school’s performance, while modest in absolute terms, is better than the typical middle school in the county, which may matter to a parent weighing options within the region.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
