Summary:
The 73701 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the standout Chisholm Elementary School and the other schools in the region.
Chisholm Elementary ranks 30th out of 389 elementary schools in the state and has a 5-star rating, with exceptional test scores that far exceed the state averages. In contrast, other schools like Garfield Elementary, Longfellow Middle, and Emerson Middle have much lower proficiency rates, often below the state averages. The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 70.89% to 97.79%, indicate significant economic challenges facing the student populations across most of the schools.
Funding levels may also play a role, as spending per student varies widely from $7,666 at Garfield Elementary to $18,355 at Pioneer-Pleasant Vale Elementary, which has stronger performance. The student-teacher ratios, generally on the higher end, could also be a factor limiting the ability of teachers to provide individualized attention and support. Addressing the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students in the Enid, Chisholm, and Pioneer-Pleasant Vale districts.
