Summary:
The 73165 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Sooner Elementary School and Schwartz Elementary School. While both schools serve the local community, Schwartz Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 10 elementary schools in the state.
Schwartz Elementary's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, where 95% of 3rd graders, 73% of 4th graders, and 74% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Sooner Elementary School has a more average performance, ranking in the middle of the state's elementary schools. While Sooner Elementary's test scores are generally higher than the Moore district and Midwest City-Del City state averages, they do not match the exceptional results of Schwartz Elementary.
The difference in performance between the two schools may be attributed to various factors, such as socioeconomic status and funding. Schwartz Elementary has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (29.04%) compared to Sooner Elementary (58.98%), and it also spends more per student ($8,154 vs. $7,260). These disparities raise questions about equity and access to quality education in the area, and further investigation may be warranted to address these concerns.
