Summary:
The 74901 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Arkoma school district. While the schools share some similarities, they also exhibit distinct differences in their performance, demographics, and resource allocation.
Singleton Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of students (75.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In contrast, Arkoma Middle School and Arkoma High School have more diverse student populations, with significant percentages of Hispanic and students of two or more races. Arkoma High School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is relatively low, ranging from 16.7% in Mathematics to 33.3% in U.S. History.
Interestingly, Arkoma High School has experienced fluctuations in its performance and ranking, with a higher ranking of 56 out of 350 Oklahoma high schools in the previous year (2021-2022), compared to its current ranking of 265 out of 439 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or subject to significant changes over time. Additionally, Arkoma High School has the highest spending per student at $11,474 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.4, which may contribute to its performance, though further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between these factors and student outcomes.
