Summary:
The 74937 zip code area is home to two schools - Heavener Elementary School and Heavener High School, both part of the Heavener school district. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and Native American students at the elementary level. However, academic performance, particularly in math and science, lags behind state averages at the high school level.
Heavener Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of Hispanic (42.11%) and Native American (22.18%) students compared to the state average, suggesting a diverse student population with unique educational needs. Both Heavener Elementary and Heavener High School have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that many students face socioeconomic challenges. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention.
While the per-student spending is similar between the elementary and high school levels, the differences in academic performance, particularly the low proficiency rates in math and science at Heavener High School, suggest that the resources may not be optimally utilized. Further investigation into the root causes of these trends and targeted interventions could help drive improvements in student outcomes and better support the diverse needs of the community.
