Meeker Ms, Meeker OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Meeker Ms

Meeker Middle School serves grades six through eight in Meeker, a small, rural town in Lincoln County, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Meeker district, and its enrollment, for a three-grade middle school, is on the smaller side. The student body is predominantly White, with a notable share of students identifying as two or more races; smaller shares identify as Hispanic, Native American, and Black. Data on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available from the public record, so a full picture of economic and learning support needs is not possible here.

On state assessments, the Oklahoma School Testing Program shows a mixed academic picture. In math, seventh graders had a stronger showing than both sixth and eighth graders. In English language arts, sixth and seventh graders performed at broadly similar levels, while eighth graders had a much weaker result. Science, tested only in eighth grade, also fell low. Oklahoma changed its cut scores for math and English in recent years, so direct comparisons with earlier years are not meaningful. Taken as a whole, the school’s overall proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades placed above the midpoint when compared with other school districts in Lincoln County. That means, within the local context, the school’s academic performance is competitive, though the eighth grade results are a clear soft spot that a parent may want to follow up on with the school.

Meeker itself is a rural bedroom community. Its economy was historically agricultural, but today most employed residents commute to Shawnee or Oklahoma City for work. The town is oriented along U.S. Highway 62 and State Highway 18, with schools and civic buildings clustered along the main boulevard. Housing values are well below the state and national medians, and the cost of living is low, making the area relatively affordable. Population growth has been slow and incremental. There is no public transit system; the town is auto-dependent. No significant new housing developments or commercial projects were identified in the public record.

The school is located at 214 East Carl Hubbell Boulevard, within the town’s core, and is not on a separate campus. The district brief turned up no recent major changes, such as bond measures, leadership turnover, or program launches, that would shift the day-to-day experience for families. Information on course offerings, extracurricular programs, discipline, chronic absenteeism, and staffing ratios was not available in the data provided. A family considering this school would benefit from visiting and asking directly about those areas, especially since the eighth grade results suggest some students may need additional academic support. This is a small-town middle school that, on the evidence available, holds its own within Lincoln County while showing uneven performance across grades that warrants a closer look.

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.
