Summary:
The 73006 zip code area has only one elementary school, Apache Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 252 students. The school is ranked 363 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is struggling academically compared to other schools in the state.
Apache Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, dropping from 353 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 363 out of 614 schools in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students scoring below the state average in most subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school does perform better than the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% for the 2024-2025 school year, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's struggles, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 and spending per student of $7,801, which is below the state average. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the school's academic and attendance issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both instructional practices and the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges.
