UNION 8TH GRADE CTR

UNION 8TH GRADE CTR is a Title I public middle school that is part of the UNION school district, located in Broken Arrow, OK with about 1,197 students. Student demographics can be found below. 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 60 teachers, UNION 8TH GRADE CTR has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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 Union 8th Grade Center, located at 6501 South Garnett Road in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, serves as a dedicated transitional campus within the Union Public Schools district. By housing the entire eighth-grade student body on a single campus, the school aims to bridge the gap between middle school and the more rigorous academic environment of the high school. The facility focuses on fostering a sense of community and academic maturity, preparing students for the transition to the Union 9th Grade Center and eventually the main Union High School campus.

Academically and culturally, the school reflects the district’s commitment to providing diverse opportunities, ranging from core curriculum requirements to various elective programs and extracurricular activities. The center emphasizes personal responsibility and student engagement, leveraging its identity as a standalone grade-level site to provide targeted support and programming tailored specifically to the developmental needs of 13- and 14-year-olds.
