Summary:
The 74839 zip code area is home to two small, low-performing public schools: Graham-Dustin Elementary (grades PK-8) and Graham-Dustin High School (grades 9-12). Both schools are part of the Graham-Dustin school district, which is ranked 312 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data indicates that these schools are struggling, with high poverty levels (over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and low academic performance. Graham-Dustin High School's 11th-grade proficiency rates in 2022-2023 were only 20% in English Language Arts, 10% in Mathematics, 10% in Science, and 30% in U.S. History. In 2023-2024, the high school's proficiency rates declined further, with 0% proficient in English Language Arts and 9.1% proficient in Mathematics.
The small school sizes, with only 103 students at the elementary school and 43 students at the high school, may present challenges in terms of resource allocation, extracurricular offerings, and overall educational opportunities for students. The data suggests that students in this area may not be receiving the high-quality education they deserve, and further investigation into the root causes and potential interventions would be warranted to address the challenges facing these schools.
