Summary:
The 73461 zip code area is home to two schools - Wapanucka Elementary School and Wapanucka High School, both part of the Wapanucka school district. While the elementary school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the years, the high school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, indicating that both schools are facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to their students.
Wapanucka Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking drop from a high of 68th out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 to 743rd out of 957 in 2014-2015, suggesting a deterioration in the school's performance compared to its peers. Meanwhile, Wapanucka High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 35% of high schools statewide, with its latest ranking of 285th out of 439 in 2022-2023. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low proficiency rates, with only 9.5% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 4.8% in Mathematics, and 28.6% in Science.
Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with Wapanucka Elementary having a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 77.95% and Wapanucka High at 64.86%. Despite the high spending per student at Wapanucka High School ($11,573), this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes, suggesting potential inefficiencies or misalignment of resources. Overall, the data indicates that the schools in this zip code are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, and further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies to improve the educational outcomes for these students.
