Summary:
The 74830 zip code area is home to two schools - Bowlegs Elementary School and Bowlegs High School, both part of the Bowlegs school district. While the elementary school appears to be performing better academically than its overall district ranking, the high school is facing significant challenges with low proficiency rates and graduation levels.
Bowlegs Elementary School ranks 265 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and has a 1 out of 5 star rating, but its 4th grade math proficiency rate of 65% is notably higher than the state average of 35%. In contrast, Bowlegs High School ranks 305 out of 431 high schools in the state and also has a 1 out of 5 star rating, with 11th grade proficiency rates in English and Math at only 13.3%, well below state averages. The high school also has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 80.1%.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates over 77%. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the high school level suggest efforts to allocate more resources to address the academic challenges, but the continued poor performance indicates these efforts may not be sufficient. Understanding the root causes and providing additional support will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this community.
