Summary:
The 74553 zip code area is home to two schools - Kiowa Elementary School and Kiowa High School, both part of the Kiowa school district. While Kiowa Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, Kiowa High School has had a more volatile performance, ranging from the top 18% to the top 35% of Oklahoma high schools in recent years.
Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with over 59% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Kiowa High School spends significantly more per student ($21,203) compared to Kiowa Elementary ($11,291), which is common for high schools. The high schools' test scores show disparities, with 50% proficiency in English Language Arts but only 8.3% in Mathematics in 2023-2024.
Despite the challenges, Kiowa High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 80.1% in 2021-2022. However, the school's performance has been volatile, and further investigation into the factors driving these trends could yield valuable insights to support the academic success of both schools and their students.
