Summary:
The 73109 zip code area of Oklahoma City is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations and face significant economic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools in the area is Santa Fe South Spero Elementary School, a public charter school that ranks 115th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other elementary schools in the zip code. Another bright spot is Heronville Elementary School, which has stronger Math proficiency rates than the district and state averages, suggesting it may be doing something right that could be replicated at other struggling schools in the area.
However, the majority of the schools in the 73109 zip code are struggling, with low statewide rankings and generally low proficiency rates on state assessments. The high school, Capitol Hill High School, has particularly low proficiency rates, with only 2.5% to 7.8% of 11th graders scoring proficient across the subject areas. The high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility and relatively high student-teacher ratios likely contribute to the challenges these schools face in providing a high-quality education for their students.
