Summary:
The 73742 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Hennessey school district. While the elementary and middle schools demonstrate strong academic performance, the high school lags behind, suggesting a need to investigate factors contributing to this gap.
Hennessey Lower Elementary School stands out, ranking 191 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 3rd grade math proficiency. In contrast, Hennessey Upper Elementary School performs well in 5th and 8th grade science, but Hennessey High School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates in core subjects.
Across the schools, high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 64% to 73%, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Additionally, the schools have diverse racial demographics, but the data does not provide insights into potential equity issues for specific subgroups. Examining resource allocation and student-teacher ratios may also offer clues to improving educational outcomes in this area.
