Summary:
The 74023 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 51.6% to 78.7%, there are notable differences in performance and resources across the schools.
Oak Grove Public School stands out as a top performer, with consistently high scores on state assessments that far exceed the state averages. In contrast, the Cushing Upper Elementary School struggles, with lower test scores. Cushing High School has shown improvement in recent years, now ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools, but still has room for progress on graduation rates and test scores.
The disparities in performance and resources, as evidenced by the varying spending per student ($7,777 to $10,019) and student-teacher ratios (12.5 to 22.2), suggest potential inequities that may be impacting student outcomes. Addressing these gaps will be crucial for ensuring all students in the 74023 zip code area receive a quality education, regardless of the school they attend. The high-need population in this area also highlights the importance of providing adequate support and resources to help students succeed.
