Summary:
The 74849 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Konawa school district. While Konawa Elementary School and Konawa High School have seen declines in their statewide rankings in recent years, the district serves a diverse student population with a significant Native American representation.
Konawa Elementary School was once a top-performing school, reaching the top 10% in Oklahoma, but has since fallen to the bottom 10%. Meanwhile, Konawa High School has also seen its ranking drop significantly, now in the bottom 20% of state high schools, despite previously being in the top 10%. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English, Math, and Science.
Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.74% to 83.28%. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are relatively high, which may impact the ability of teachers to provide individualized attention and support. While the diversity of the student body could be an asset, the combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and declining school rankings raises concerns about equity and the ability of these schools to provide a high-quality education to all students.
