Summary:
The 73562 zip code area is home to two schools - Big Pasture Elementary School and Big Pasture High School, both part of the Big Pasture school district. While the elementary school has historically performed well, the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over time.
Big Pasture Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with a 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 36% that exceeds the state average. The school has also maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1. In contrast, Big Pasture High School has experienced a significant drop in its statewide ranking, from being ranked 1st out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 187th out of 431 in the current year. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% is also lower than the state average.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Interestingly, the high school spends significantly more per student ($13,657) compared to the elementary school ($8,450), which warrants further investigation to understand the reasons behind this resource allocation difference.
