Summary:
The 73942 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. While some schools, like North Park Elementary School and Academy Elementary School, show relatively strong academic performance, others, like Guymon High School, struggle significantly, with low proficiency rates across multiple subjects.
The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance and resource allocation within the 73942 zip code area. Straight Public School, a small elementary school, stands out with the highest spending per student at $21,033 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.2. In contrast, Carrier Elementary School has the lowest spending per student at $5,999 and the highest student-teacher ratio at 31.5. These disparities in resources and funding may contribute to the varying academic outcomes observed across the schools.
Despite the challenges, the data also highlights specific areas where certain schools excel, such as North Park Elementary's strong math performance and Academy Elementary's high 4th grade math proficiency. These bright spots could inform targeted interventions and best practices that could be shared across the Guymon and Straight school districts to help improve overall academic outcomes for the students in the 73942 zip code area.
