Summary:
The 74533 zip code area is home to two schools - Caney Elementary School and Caney High School, both part of the Caney school district. While Caney Elementary performs slightly above the state average in 3rd grade math, Caney High School faces significant academic challenges, with alarmingly low proficiency rates across all tested subjects for 11th graders.
Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of White and Native American students. However, they also share high poverty levels, with free/reduced lunch rates of 72.4% at Caney Elementary and 54.2% at Caney High. Despite the low academic performance at Caney High, the school spends significantly more per student ($15,495) compared to Caney Elementary ($11,888), raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.
The stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, coupled with the declining enrollment at the high school level, suggests a need for a comprehensive approach to address the unique challenges faced by these schools. Addressing the high poverty levels, ensuring equitable funding, and implementing targeted interventions to support student achievement will be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this area.
