Summary:
The 74442 zip code area is home to two schools - Indianola Elementary School and Indianola High School, both part of the Indianola school district. While the schools have maintained consistent 3-star ratings, they face significant challenges, including very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Indianola Elementary School serves grades PK-8 with 177 students and spends $9,524 per student, while Indianola High School serves grades 9-12 with 108 students and spends $13,012 per student. The elementary school maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.1, compared to the high school's ratio of 15.9. Indianola High School has a graduation rate of 80.1%, which is a respectable achievement considering the high poverty levels in the community.
Despite the challenges, both schools have shown stability in their 3-star ratings, with Indianola Elementary School ranking between 235 and 693 out of Oklahoma elementary schools, and Indianola High School improving its ranking from 196 to 146 out of Oklahoma high schools in recent years. The higher per-student spending at the high school may reflect the additional resources and programs required for high school education.
