Summary:
The 74832 zip code area is home to two small schools - Carney Elementary School and Carney High School, both part of the Carney school district. While Carney Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, Carney High School has experienced a steady decline, indicating academic challenges. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by their free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 65%.
Carney Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from a high of 236 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to a low of 837 out of 957 in 2014-2015, before rebounding to 215 out of 646 in 2020-2021. This suggests the school has faced difficulties but has also shown the ability to improve. In contrast, Carney High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 85 out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 352 out of 439 in 2022-2023, indicating ongoing academic struggles.
The academic performance at Carney High School is particularly concerning, with only 23.1% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 15.4% in Mathematics, 0% in Science, and 23.1% in U.S. History - well below state averages. Despite the high school's lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the elementary school, the district must address these significant academic deficiencies to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Carney community.
