Summary:
The 74346 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Jay School District. While these schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, they face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Jay Middle School stands out with the highest state ranking (115 out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools) and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13:1. Jay High School also has a unique distinction, with the highest percentage of Asian students (10.41%) and relatively better performance on state assessments, particularly in U.S. History.
However, the overall academic performance of these schools is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and other subjects consistently falling below state averages. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 73.76% to 83.05%, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the academic struggles. Additionally, the disparities in per-student spending, from $7,855 at Jay Middle School to $16,503 at Jay Elementary School, raise questions about funding equity and its potential impact on the quality of education.
