Original Research by School Decision on Kellyville Ms
Kellyville MS is a small public middle school in Creek County, serving only seventh and eighth graders. With an enrollment that is modest for a two-grade school, it draws entirely from the town of Kellyville itself, a small, primarily residential community on Historic Route 66 about a short drive southwest of Sapulpa. Many employed residents commute to jobs in the Sapulpa-Tulsa area, while Webco Industries operates a specialty alloy tubing plant locally as the town's primary industrial employer. Housing values in the area sit close to the statewide average and well below the national figure, making this a relatively affordable part of Oklahoma.
The student body is predominantly white, with a substantial share of students who identify as American Indian or Alaska Native, and smaller shares of students who are two or more races, Hispanic, Black, or Asian. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals was not available, nor was information on the percentage of students with individualized education programs or English learners. A parent would want to ask the school directly about the level of support available for these populations.
On the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP), the school's results are a significant concern. In both seventh-grade math and seventh-grade English language arts, the share of students scoring at or above the proficient level was low. Eighth-grade math results were even weaker, with a very small proportion of students reaching proficiency. Eighth-grade English language arts results were somewhat higher but still below what many families would consider a satisfactory baseline. The strongest showing came in eighth-grade science, where more than a third of students scored proficient or above. Even so, this is a school where a large majority of students in most tested subjects and grades are not meeting the state's proficiency benchmark. When compared to other districts within Creek County, Kellyville MS's overall proficiency index lands just above the midpoint among the county's districts, a context that shows the challenges are not unique to this one school but that improvement is clearly needed. It is also worth knowing that Oklahoma adjusted its cut scores for the math and English language arts assessments in this testing cycle, which makes direct comparisons to prior years unreliable.
Because Kellyville MS serves only two grade levels, there is no graduation rate to report. The district of which it is a part, Kellyville Public Schools, operates a pre-K through twelve system within the town, so students at this middle school feed into the district's high school. No recent strategic changes or major developments for the district emerged from available public reporting, so the operational picture appears stable.
For a family weighing options, this is a school where the peer environment is homogeneous in its racial and ethnic makeup and small in scale, which some families prefer. The academic data, however, points to an environment where most students are struggling to meet grade-level standards in reading and particularly in mathematics. A parent considering this school would want to have a direct conversation with the principal and teaching staff about what interventions and instructional supports are in place for students who are below grade level, and what the school's plan is for raising proficiency over time. The absence of data on special education and English learner populations is a further gap that the school should be able to clarify. For families who place a high priority on strong state test scores or who have a child who needs a robust academic push, this school may not currently be a strong fit without close attention to the specific classroom supports available.
