Summary:
ZIP code 73102 has four schools—two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—with 1,468 students combined. The reported results vary sharply: John Rex Charter Elementary School is above state proficiency levels in its reported All Grades ELA, math and science results, while Emerson North High School is far below the state in all four subjects it reports. The most important takeaway is that this is an uneven set of schools, with a pronounced contrast between those results.
John Rex Charter Elementary School stands out at the top: its 2025–2026 results were 30% in ELA, 34% in math and 49% in science, respectively 4, 9 and 19 percentage points above the state. Its SchoolDigger ranking was 208 of 626 schools, at the 67th percentile with three stars. Emerson North High School is the clearest low-performing outlier: its ELA, math, science and U.S. History results were 2%, 2%, 0% and 11%—24, 23, 30 and 30 points below state figures. SchoolDigger ranked it 461 of 462, at the 0th percentile with zero stars. It also had 84% chronic absenteeism and a 28% graduation rate, 50 points below the state. Emerson South Middle School was 18 points below the state in ELA and 17 points below in math; OKCPS Extended Educ Services (Es) has no reported test scores.
Recent movement was mixed rather than pointing in one direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, John Rex Charter Elementary School fell 6 points in ELA, rose 3 in math and gained 17 in science; Emerson North High School slipped 1 point in ELA and math and 3 in U.S. History, while science stayed at 0%; Emerson South Middle School held at 8% in both reported subjects. Context differs, too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 45% at John Rex, 91% at Emerson North, 87% at Emerson South and 75% at Extended Educ Services. Student–teacher ratios ranged from 17.6 at John Rex to 5.0 at Extended Educ Services, but lower ratios do not correspond to higher reported scores in this group. Grade spans differ, so All Grades results are not like-for-like comparisons.
