Southeast Ms, Oklahoma City OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Southeast Ms

Southeast MS is a grades five through eight middle school in Oklahoma City Public Schools, located on South Hudson on the city’s south side. It serves a predominantly Hispanic student body, with smaller shares of white, Black, Asian, and multiracial students. The school’s enrollment is of a size that feels typical for a middle school of this grade band. State testing data was available for most grade levels, though some grade-level results were suppressed and are not reported, which can happen when counts fall below a threshold.

On Oklahoma’s state assessments, proficiency rates in math and English language arts are low across the grades that were reported. In science, the share of students scoring proficient or above is somewhat higher, particularly in eighth grade. These are the tested subjects for this grade band, and the pattern of overall proficiency places Southeast MS above the midpoint among districts in Oklahoma County, meaning it outperforms many of its county peers even while the absolute numbers remain modest. For a parent looking at the state test scores alone, the picture is one of challenge, but the comparison suggests that challenge is shared widely across the county’s schools. A family may want to speak with the school directly about the instructional strategies and support programs in place.

The student population is largely Hispanic, reflecting the surrounding neighborhood. Information on free or reduced-price meal eligibility was not available, nor were counts of students receiving special education services or English learner support, so the full economic and academic support landscape is not visible from the data provided. The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to consider.

Oklahoma City itself is a sprawling, auto-oriented state capital with a strong economy anchored by energy, government, aviation, and the livestock market. Downtown has seen significant revitalization through the MAPS program, but the city’s enormous footprint means that many residential areas, including the south side where the school sits, are car-dependent and separated from the urban core. Employment opportunities are broad, with major employers like Tinker Air Force Base, state government, and energy companies drawing a diverse workforce.

Housing in the area around the school is relatively affordable compared to national benchmarks. Home values and rents are below what families would face in many other metropolitan areas, which can be a practical consideration for those moving into the district. The mortgage and rent costs, while not trivial, remain accessible for many households, particularly those employed in the region’s larger industries.

We looked for recent district-level developments, such as bond measures or strategic initiatives, but found little publicly reported information that could be confirmed, so that context is left out rather than guessed. The school operates within the Oklahoma City district, one of the state’s largest, which serves a wide range of neighborhoods and student needs.

Southeast MS offers a middle school pathway in an urban, diverse setting. Its academic performance, while low in absolute terms, is typical of many schools in the county, and the available housing market is one of relative affordability. Families considering this school will want to visit, learn about the specific programs and support structures, and gauge the fit for their own student.

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.
