Summary:
The 49065 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Lawton Community School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an accelerated academic center).
Lawton Elementary School stands out with relatively high performance on state assessments, a consistent 3-star rating, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the middle and high schools. In contrast, Lawton Middle School struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math. At the high school level, Lawton High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate, but the Lawton Accelerated Academic Center has much lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as schools with higher percentages of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism. The wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 14:1 at the elementary school to 79.1:1 at the Lawton Accelerated Academic Center, also suggests potential differences in resource allocation that may contribute to the performance gaps across the district.
