Best Public Schools in Zip Code 74966

Summary:

The 74966 zip code area is home to two schools - Wister Elementary School and Wister High School, both part of the Wister school district. While Wister High School has maintained a 3-star rating in recent years, Wister Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2010-2011 to a 1-star rating in 2020-2021.

Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates of 69.75% at Wister Elementary and 58.62% at Wister High. This suggests a significant population of students from low-income households, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed. Additionally, there is a notable disparity in per-student spending, with Wister Elementary spending nearly $4,200 more per student than Wister High. This uneven distribution of resources could be an area for the district to address to ensure equitable support for all students.

Despite the challenges, both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support. However, the impact of these ratios on academic performance should be further analyzed. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Wister school district to develop targeted strategies to address the unique challenges faced by these institutions and work towards improving educational outcomes for all students in the 74966 zip code area.
