Summary:
The 73040 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Geary school district. While some of these schools have shown modest improvements in their statewide rankings over the years, they continue to struggle with low test scores and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism.
Geary Elementary School has moved from the bottom quartile to the middle quartile of Oklahoma elementary schools, but its test scores remain relatively low, with only 28% of students proficient or better in ELA and 26% in Math, compared to state averages of 26%. The school has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 92.8%, indicating a high-poverty student population. Geary High School has also shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, but its test scores are still low, with only 25% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17% in Math, compared to state averages of 37% and 18% respectively. The school has a relatively high graduation rate of 82.2%, but this is still below the state average.
Geary Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma middle schools, with particularly low test scores of only 8% proficient or better in ELA and 4% in Math, compared to state averages of 26% for both. The school has a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 89.7%, indicating a high-poverty student population. All three schools in the 73040 zip code area have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, well above the state average, which can contribute to their academic challenges.
