Midwest City education statistics show a city with high household technology access, substantial educational attainment, and schools serving varied student populations. The figures below combine U.S. Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024, district and school directory data, 2023 Oklahoma school profiles, and the 2024–2025 Midwest City High School report card. Measurement periods differ, so each figure is labeled accordingly.

Citywide education and learning access
The U.S. Census Bureau’s QuickFacts profile for Midwest City reports that 92.4% of residents age 25 and older were high school graduates or higher during 2020–2024. The same estimate places the share with a bachelor’s degree or higher at 23.8%. These are citywide educational-attainment measures, not the graduation rate for a particular current high school cohort.
Household technology access was also measured for 2020–2024. During that period, 94.7% of Midwest City households had a computer, while 91.5% had a broadband Internet subscription. Those percentages describe household access across the city and do not indicate how consistently individual students used devices or broadband for schoolwork.
Together, the Census measures provide two useful kinds of context. The attainment figures describe the highest completed education reported among adults at least 25 years old. The computer and broadband figures describe the tools available in households. Neither category is a school performance score, and the Census period is different from the school-year measures below.
Mid-Del district scale and staffing
The National Center for Education Statistics district detail lists the Midwest City–Del City district as operating 19 schools. The district’s grade span was prekindergarten through grade 12 in 2025–2026 directory data.
For the 2024–2025 school year, the district enrolled 12,087 students and reported 703.75 classroom teachers measured in full-time equivalents. Its reported student-to-teacher ratio was 17.18 to 1. The enrollment and staffing measures describe the district as a whole, while the ratio is the district’s reported figure and should not be read as the exact number of students in every classroom.
| District measure | Figure | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Schools | 19 | 2025–2026 directory data |
| Grade span | Prekindergarten–12 | 2025–2026 directory data |
| Student enrollment | 12,087 | 2024–2025 |
| Classroom teachers | 703.75 FTE | 2024–2025 |
| Student-to-teacher ratio | 17.18 to 1 | 2024–2025 |
The district figures help frame the individual school profiles. A school’s enrollment, attendance, mobility, and family-participation numbers can look different from district-level totals because the schools serve different grade ranges and student populations.
Midwest City Elementary School profile
The 2023 Oklahoma school profile for Midwest City Elementary reports fall 2023 enrollment by race and ethnicity as 34.0% Caucasian, 25.9% Black, 18.7% Hispanic, 4.3% Native American, and 16.0% two or more races. These categories describe the school’s fall enrollment profile for that year.
Bilingual students represented 5.0% of enrollment, and economically disadvantaged students represented 56.7%. The economically disadvantaged figure is a student-population measure in the school profile; it is not the same measure as household income for the city as a whole.
The profile also reports that 64.0% of kindergarten through third-grade students received reading remediation. That statistic applies to the specified early-grade group rather than to every student at the school. It provides a focused view of reading support during the 2023 school profile period.
Attendance and family engagement were reported separately. Midwest City Elementary averaged 17.0 absent days per student, based on a 175-day school year. The profile also says that 94% of parents attended a parent-teacher conference. The absence figure is an average, while the conference figure is a participation percentage; neither alone explains the reasons for absences or the content of conferences.
Midwest City Middle School profile
The 2023 Oklahoma school profile for Midwest City Middle School lists fall 2023 enrollment as 28.3% Caucasian, 36.2% Black, and 15.8% Hispanic. Bilingual students made up 6.8% of enrollment, while economically disadvantaged students made up 66.3%.
The middle school averaged 20.9 absent days per student, based on a 175-day school year. Its incoming-student mobility rate was 15.8%. In this context, mobility is a school-profile measure of students entering during the year; it is distinct from the district’s total enrollment.
The same profile recorded one suspension of 10 days or less for every 3.9 students and one suspension of more than 10 days for every 55.1 students. These are reported frequency-style measures, not percentages of unique students, so they should not be converted into a student disciplinary rate without additional information.
Parent-teacher conference participation was 64% in the 2023 profile. Compared with the elementary figure, this provides a different school-level measure of family participation, but the two schools serve different grade levels and should not be treated as identical populations.
Midwest City High School profile
The 2023 Oklahoma school profile for Midwest City High School reports fall enrollment of 27.6% Caucasian, 40.0% Black, and 15.4% Hispanic. Bilingual students made up 6.6% of enrollment, and economically disadvantaged students made up 59.6%.
Midwest City High School averaged 20.9 absent days per student, based on a 175-day school year. Its incoming-student mobility rate was 20.4%. The profile recorded one suspension of 10 days or less for every 6.0 students. Parent-teacher conference participation was 28%.
For the 2023–2024 school year, the NCES school detail for Midwest City High School lists 1,324 students and 81.26 classroom-teacher FTEs. The school’s reported student-to-teacher ratio was 16.29 to 1. NCES also reported 989 students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch for that school year. This eligibility count is a school measure and comes from a different period than the fall 2023 profile percentages.
The school-level figures show why period labels matter. The fall 2023 profile describes enrollment composition, attendance, mobility, suspensions, and conference participation. The NCES 2023–2024 entry describes enrollment, staffing, ratio, and lunch eligibility. They are related views of the school but are not a single same-date dataset.
Midwest City High School outcomes
The Oklahoma School Report Cards contextual report provides current outcome measures for the 2024–2025 school year. It reports $12,374.43 in day-to-day operating spending per student. The report also says that 83% of student instruction was provided by an experienced educator.
Across state Math, English language arts, and Science assessments, 17% of Midwest City High School students scored proficient or better. Assessment participation was 96%. The participation figure indicates how many students took the assessments; it is not the share meeting the proficiency threshold.
The four-year graduation rate shown on the report card was 65%, identified there with the 2025 cohort. This is a cohort graduation measure and should not be confused with the Census estimate that 92.4% of Midwest City adults age 25 and older were high school graduates or higher. The two statistics describe different populations and time frames.
| Midwest City High School measure | Figure | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Operating spending per student | $12,374.43 | 2024–2025 |
| Proficient or better in Math, ELA, and Science | 17% | 2024–2025 |
| State assessment participation | 96% | 2024–2025 |
| Instruction from an experienced educator | 83% | 2024–2025 |
| Four-year graduation rate | 65% | Cohort 2025 |
Carl Albert High School comparison
Within the same Mid-Del system, the 2023 Oklahoma school profile for Carl Albert High School reports a different fall 2023 enrollment pattern: 50.0% Caucasian, 18.7% Black, and 13.9% Hispanic. Bilingual students made up 4.8% of enrollment, and economically disadvantaged students made up 36.9%.
Carl Albert averaged 13.4 absent days per student, based on a 175-day school year, compared with 20.9 at Midwest City High School in the corresponding 2023 school profiles. Its incoming-student mobility rate was 4.7%, compared with 20.4% at Midwest City High School.
The profile recorded one suspension of 10 days or less for every 14.5 students and one suspension of more than 10 days for every 159.3 students. It reported parent-teacher conference participation of 35%.
| 2023 school-profile measure | Midwest City HS | Carl Albert HS |
|---|---|---|
| Caucasian enrollment | 27.6% | 50.0% |
| Black enrollment | 40.0% | 18.7% |
| Hispanic enrollment | 15.4% | 13.9% |
| Bilingual enrollment | 6.6% | 4.8% |
| Economically disadvantaged | 59.6% | 36.9% |
| Average absent days | 20.9 | 13.4 |
| Incoming-student mobility | 20.4% | 4.7% |
| Parent-teacher conference participation | 28% | 35% |
These comparisons are school-profile figures for fall 2023 or the 2023 profile period. They identify differences between the two high schools, but they do not establish why those differences occurred or predict later performance. The available figures are best read alongside their source labels, grade-level coverage, and measurement dates.
