Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73450

The 73450 zip code area is home to two schools - Milburn Elementary School and Milburn High School, both part of the Milburn school district. While the elementary school has shown steady improvement in its ranking and rating, the high school has consistently performed in the top half of Oklahoma high schools, ranking 188 out of 431 schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars.

Both schools serve a relatively small student population, with Milburn Elementary having 134 students and Milburn High School having 67 students. However, the high school spends significantly more per student ($17,009) compared to the elementary school ($7,690), which may contribute to the high school's stronger performance. Additionally, the high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1, compared to the elementary school's 17:1 ratio, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for high school students.

One area of concern is the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, with Milburn Elementary at 76.12% and Milburn High School at 73.13%, suggesting a relatively low-income student population. This may present challenges in addressing socioeconomic factors that can impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the high school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, indicate room for improvement, with only 14.3% of 11th-grade students proficient in this subject. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture, with both strengths and areas for improvement in the schools serving the 73450 zip code area.
