Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 73036 include nine schools—six elementary, two middle, and one high school—with grade spans ranging from pre-K or early elementary grades through grade 8, plus El Reno High School. Results were supplied for seven schools in English language arts (ELA) and math and six in science; Rose Witcher Elementary School and Hillcrest Elementary School have no test results here. Across schools with results, the average was 24% in ELA, 24% in math, and 34% in science, compared with state figures of 26%, 25%, and 30%. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by school: the gap from highest to lowest was 30 points in ELA and 34 points in math.
Banner Public School is the clearest overall test-score standout, with 43% in ELA, 45% in math, and 38% in science—17, 20, and 8 points above state results. Its same-grade results also stand out: third-grade proficiency was 68% in ELA and 79% in math. At the other end, Etta Dale Junior High School had the lowest reported ELA and math results, 13% and 11%, respectively, below state figures by 13 and 14 points. It is not low in every subject: Etta Dale’s science result was 35%, above the 30% state figure. Darlington Public School also performed above state figures in all three subjects, while El Reno High School had stronger science and U.S. History results but lower ELA and math results than the state.
Group averages improved between the two reported years, especially in science: science rose 9 points, ELA 3 points, and math 2 points. Individual schools did not all follow that pattern: Darlington gained 8 points in ELA and 15 in science, while Etta Dale fell 3 points in ELA and 4 in math. SchoolDigger ranked Darlington at the 94th percentile and Banner at the 84th percentile statewide in 2025–2026. Darlington’s student-teacher ratio was 20.3, higher than Etta Dale’s 15.9, yet it scored above state figures in all three reported subjects. Free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025 were 68% at Darlington and 38% at Banner; these measures provide context, but the results do not line up in a simple way with income shares or class ratios.
