Summary:
The 74951 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Panama school district. Unfortunately, these schools generally perform below the state average on key metrics like rankings, test scores, and socioeconomic indicators.
The Panama Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 195th out of 407 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 395th out of 646 in 2020-2021. Its 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 19% is also well below the state average of 34%. Similarly, Panama High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 275th out of 350 Oklahoma high schools in 2021-2022 to 271st out of 431 in 2023-2024, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.2%) and Mathematics (12.5%).
The challenges faced by these schools are further compounded by the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.54% at Panama High School to 85.81% at Panama Elementary School. This suggests that the schools in the 74951 zip code area serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. Addressing these underlying factors and providing targeted interventions will be crucial in improving the quality of education for students in this area.
