Summary:
The 73118 zip code area in Oklahoma City is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the charter schools and the traditional public schools in this area.
Harding Fine Arts Academy, a public charter high school, stands out as the highest performing school in the data set. It has a statewide ranking of 119 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, strong test scores, and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to other schools in the area. In contrast, Putnam Heights Academy High School and Putnam Heights Academy Middle School, both traditional public schools, appear to be the lowest performing, with extremely low test scores and very high free/reduced lunch rates.
The racial composition of the schools also seems to be correlated with their performance, with the higher-performing charter schools having a majority white student population, while the lower-performing traditional public schools have a majority minority student population. However, the data suggests that factors such as spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not directly correlate with school performance. Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges faced by the Putnam Heights Academy schools, which serve a high-need student population, and the need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes in this area.
