Summary:
The 73840 zip code area is home to two schools - Fargo Elementary School and Fargo High School, both part of the Fargo school district. While Fargo Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 15-25% of Oklahoma elementary schools, Fargo High School has seen more volatility in its performance, dropping to the bottom 20% of Oklahoma high schools before rebounding slightly in the most recent year.
The schools serve a relatively small student population, with Fargo Elementary having 149 students and Fargo High having 73 students. Both schools have a majority white student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student demographic. Interestingly, Fargo High School spends significantly more per student ($24,273) compared to Fargo Elementary ($10,960), a disparity that warrants further investigation.
Overall, the data suggests that while Fargo Elementary School is providing a quality education, there may be challenges at the secondary level that are impacting the performance of Fargo High School. Understanding the socioeconomic factors, resource allocation, and other drivers behind these trends could help the Fargo school district develop targeted strategies to support student success at all grade levels.
