Summary:
The 74901 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Arkoma school district. While the schools face challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage, there are also signs of progress and potential for improvement.
Arkoma High School stands out as a school with both strengths and weaknesses. It has improved its ranking from 265 to 257 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools, indicating some positive momentum. However, the school's test scores are concerning, with only 30.3% of 11th-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 9.1% proficient or better in Mathematics. This suggests a need for targeted interventions to boost academic performance.
Singleton Elementary School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating between 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. While still ranked relatively low (298 out of 406 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2017-2018), the school's progress indicates it has the potential to continue improving with the right strategies and resources. Additionally, the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (82.8%) across the schools in the area suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional support and resources to address their unique needs.
