DOUGLASS MIDDLE SCHOOL
DOUGLASS MS is a Title I public middle school that is part of the OKLAHOMA CITY school district, located in Oklahoma City, OK with about 170 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 11 teachers, DOUGLASS MS has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

The school serves as a key educational anchor for its community, operating under a district-wide mission to provide equitable learning opportunities and academic growth for a diverse student population. As a middle school, the institution focuses on the critical transitional years of early adolescence, emphasizing both academic preparation for high school and the social-emotional development of its students.
Historically, the school site is deeply rooted in the cultural and educational legacy of the surrounding community.
