Madill Middle School serves students in sixth through eighth grade and is part of the Madill Public Schools district in Marshall County, Oklahoma. The school is located on West McArthur Street in Madill, a small county-seat town whose economy blends trailer manufacturing, agricultural processing equipment, steel wire supply, and tourism tied to nearby Lake Texoma.
The student body reflects the community's demographic composition. Hispanic students make up the largest share, followed by white students, with a smaller but noticeable share of students who identify with two or more races and a modest presence of American Indian or Alaska Native students. There is a very small number of Asian students and Black students. The school is a regular public school and is not a charter or magnet institution. Data on the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, on students with disabilities, and on English learners was not available.
On the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) assessments for the most recent school year, the school's proficiency rates were low. In mathematics, the rate for sixth graders was the highest of the three tested grades, while the seventh-grade rate was somewhat lower and the eighth-grade rate was lower still. In English language arts, the sixth-grade proficiency rate was higher than the rates for seventh and eighth grades, which were close to each other. In eighth-grade science, just under a third of students scored at the proficient level or above. The state changed cut scores for math and English language arts in this testing cycle, which means comparisons to prior years are not meaningful. Across all tested subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index placed it in the bottom quartile among districts in Marshall County.
A range of programs and course access data was not available, so parents looking for specific course offerings, electives, or career pathway opportunities may need to contact the school directly. The district brief found no parent-relevant changes such as bond elections, curriculum shifts, or property tax changes to report from recent years.
Madill itself is a community that has seen steady but modest population growth over recent decades. The town square, anchored by the Marshall County Courthouse and the Museum of Southern Oklahoma, serves as a civic gathering place. Major employers include CM Trailers, WW Trailers, Savage, and Mid American Steel and Wire. The town is about ten miles north of Lake Texoma, a regional recreation destination that supports some hospitality and tourism employment. The local housing market, as measured by the Zillow Home Value Index for the area, is well below both the state and national benchmarks, and home values have seen a slight decline. Madill was struck by an EF-2 tornado in 2020, which likely prompted some rebuilding.
For a parent considering Madill Middle School, the central facts are the school's academic performance and the town's small-town, manufacturing-and-agriculture character. The proficiency results are weak, and the school sits at the bottom of its county comparison. A parent may want to investigate further what academic supports and interventions are in place for students who are not at grade level, and what, if any, enrichment or advanced coursework exists for students who are ready for more challenge. The school does not serve high school grades, so a family would also want to look into Madill High School's offerings and graduation outcomes, though that data was not part of this profile. The community context offers a stable, affordable place to live with a slow growth rate and an economy tied to manufacturing and tourism.
