Summary:
The 73084 zip code in Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Spencer Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has struggled academically, ranking 588 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Spencer Elementary School's performance has declined over the past 15 years, dropping from a ranking of 774 out of 846 schools in 2010-2011 to its current position. The school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% and academic performance that is well below state and Oklahoma City district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 4th grade math, only 7% of students are proficient or better, compared to 35% statewide and 17% in the Oklahoma City district.
Despite the school's struggles, its per-student spending of $9,768 is slightly above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 16.2 is slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that additional funding and resources alone may not be the solution to improving academic outcomes at Spencer Elementary School. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
