Summary:
The schools in zip code 73111 serve a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population, with significant academic challenges across the district. This area contains 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all of which face issues of concentrated poverty and racial segregation.
Thelma R. Parks Elementary School stands out with the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.94%, indicating a high-need student population. However, it also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1, which could be beneficial for student learning. In contrast, W.K. Jackson Leadership Academy, a public charter elementary school, has the highest percentage of African American students at 93.27% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 58.65%.
The academic challenges faced by these schools are significant, with Millwood High School having the lowest proficiency rates on state assessments, with only 9.5% proficient or better in English Language Arts, 1.6% in Math, 3.2% in Science, and 15.9% in U.S. History. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these communities, which are served by the Millwood, Oklahoma City, and W.K. Jackson Leadership Academy (Charter) districts.
