Summary:
ZIP code 73107 has nine schools: five elementary, two middle, and two high schools, serving students across elementary through high school grades. Results vary considerably by school and grade: elementary all-grades proficiency ranges from 6% to 28% in ELA and from 8% to 32% in math, while the two high schools are 43 points apart in U.S. History. The most important takeaway is that achievement is uneven, with a few results at or above state levels and many well below them.
Cleveland Elementary is the clearest elementary standout: its all-grades ELA and math results were 28% and 32%, respectively, 2 and 7 points above the state; it led local elementary schools in both subjects. At the other end, Astec Charter Elementary had the lowest results, 6% in ELA and 8% in math. Among high schools, Astec Charter High stood out in U.S. History at 57% proficient—16 points above the state and 43 above Northwest Classen High—but had just 1% proficiency in math, 24 points below the state. Astec Charter Middle led Taft Middle in all three reported all-grades subjects, though both schools were below state benchmarks. A grade-level bright spot: Mark Twain Elementary exceeded state results in fourth-grade ELA and math.
Recent movement is mixed: the average ELA result across schools was essentially unchanged from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while average math rose by 1 point. Mark Twain’s scores fell 8 points in ELA and 12 in math, so its stronger fourth-grade results do not describe every grade. SchoolDigger ranked Cleveland at the 55th statewide percentile and Astec High at the 47th in 2025–26; the other schools were at or below the 34th percentile. Other context may help distinguish schools, but does not explain results: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 71% at Cleveland and 96% at Buchanan; their student–teacher ratios were 17.5 and 15.3. Astec High’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 98%, compared with 78% statewide, and 99% of its students were directly certified for free meals that year.
