Summary:
The 74801 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving a diverse student population. While some schools like Bethel Elementary School and South Rock Creek Public School excel with strong test scores and low free/reduced lunch rates, others like Jefferson Elementary School and Horace Mann Elementary School struggle, highlighting the stark contrasts in school performance within the same zip code.
The data reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools serving higher percentages of students from low-income families tending to have lower test scores and overall performance. For example, Horace Mann Elementary School has a free/reduced lunch rate of 96%, significantly higher than the 29.71% rate at Bethel High School. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be at play in determining school success.
The analysis also highlights the importance of continuous improvement, as some schools like Sequoyah Elementary School have seen their rankings and ratings decline over the years. Additionally, the data suggests that the performance of elementary, middle, and high schools may differ, with some schools excelling at certain grade levels but not others, indicating the need for targeted interventions and strategies at different grade levels across the Shawnee, Bethel, South Rock Creek, and Pleasant Grove school districts.
