Summary:
ZIP code 73055 has eight schools—three elementary, two middle and three high schools—serving grades from prekindergarten through 12th grade, with 2,025 students enrolled overall. Results vary sharply by school and subject: in 2025–2026, reported all-grades scores ranged from 4% to 49% in mathematics, and the equal-weight school average was 21%, below the 25% state figure. The clearest area-wide concern is mathematics, alongside substantial differences between schools. One comparison caveat: Bray-Doyle Elementary School serves PK–8, so its all-grades score includes a broader grade span than scores at elementary-only schools.
Marlow High School stands out among high schools, with 50% in ELA I and 59% in U.S. History; its 11th-grade scores were 14 and 18 percentage points above state figures in those subjects. Marlow Elementary School led elementary schools in all-grades mathematics at 49%, while Bray-Doyle Elementary led the area in science at 54%, 24 points above state. At the low end, Central High High School had the lowest mathematics score, 4% versus 25% statewide, and scored 12% in science versus 30% statewide. The middle-school gap is also clear: in seventh-grade mathematics, Marlow Middle School scored 37%, compared with 6% at Central High Middle School.
Across the same eight schools, average scores from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 fell by 3 percentage points in ELA I, 1 point in mathematics and 4 points in science; the average state mathematics figure also fell, leaving the schools’ average about 4 points below state. SchoolDigger rankings offer another point of comparison: Marlow Elementary ranked 72 of 626 schools (88th percentile), while Central High ranked 411 of 462 (11th percentile). The schools’ reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares, all for 2024–2025, also differ: 38% at Central High and 58% at Bray-Doyle High, but those figures are context, not an explanation of results. Other measures tell a different part of the story: all three high schools had graduation rates above the 77.6% state figure, while Central High had the area’s lowest reported high-school absenteeism rate at 2.8% and still had low test scores.
