Summary:
The 73062 zip code area is home to two schools - Mountain View-Gotebo Elementary School and Mountain View-Gotebo High School, both part of the Mountain View-Gotebo school district. While the elementary school is a standout institution, consistently ranking among the top in the state, the high school has struggled, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma high schools.
The elementary school has a strong track record, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 42nd out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year. In contrast, the high school has only a 1-star rating and ranked 351st out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 67.82%, compared to 62.12% at the high school, suggesting a lower socioeconomic status in the community, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the high school.
Despite the high school spending more per student ($14,907) compared to the elementary school ($10,834) and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.4, the academic performance at the high school remains poor, with only 23.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 11.8% in Mathematics, 11.8% in Science, and 17.7% in U.S. History. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the factors contributing to the high school's underperformance.
