ASTEC CHARTER MIDDLE SCHOOL

ASTEC CHARTER MS is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the ASTEC CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in Oklahoma City, OK with about 456 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, ASTEC CHARTER MS has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

ASTEC Charter Middle School, located on NW 23rd Street in Oklahoma City, operates as part of the ASTEC Charter Schools network, which is known for its focus on providing a college-preparatory education to a diverse student population.

By maintaining a structured and supportive atmosphere, the middle school aims to bridge achievement gaps and prepare students for the academic demands of high school and beyond.

Beyond traditional core academics, ASTEC distinguishes itself through a focus on individualized attention and character development. The school’s mission centers on empowering students from varying backgrounds to become productive, responsible citizens, often placing a strong emphasis on technology integration and parent-school collaboration.
