Summary:
The 74652 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Shidler school district. While the schools share some similarities, such as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
The standout school in the area is Shidler High School, which has the highest state-wide ranking among the 3 schools and a relatively high percentage of Native American students. However, the school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, suggest room for improvement. In contrast, Ward Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its state-wide ranking over the years, despite serving a diverse student population with a high percentage of students from two or more racial backgrounds.
The schools in the 74652 zip code area face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of their students, who come from diverse backgrounds and low-income households. While Shidler Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the higher per-student spending at Shidler High School does not seem to translate into significantly better academic performance. These findings suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the specific needs of the schools and the community they serve.
