Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73053

The 73053 zip code area is home to two schools - Lookeba-Sickles Elementary School and Lookeba-Sickles High School, both part of the Lookeba Sickles school district. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school appears to be struggling in comparison to other schools in Oklahoma.

Lookeba-Sickles Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Lookeba-Sickles High School has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked in the bottom half of high schools in the state in recent years.

Both schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. While the high school spends significantly more per student than the elementary school, this unusual finding may warrant further investigation to understand the factors contributing to the performance differences between the two schools.
