Summary:
The 73108 zip code area of Oklahoma City is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Rockwood Elementary and Western Gateway Elementary) and 1 middle school (Mary Golda Ross Middle School). While the schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, one school stands out as a potential bright spot in the area.
Western Gateway Elementary, a public charter school, appears to be the highest performing of the three, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and the Western Gateway (Charter) and Oklahoma City district/state averages. In contrast, Mary Golda Ross Middle School has especially low proficiency rates, with only 2-5% of students scoring proficient or better across grade levels and subjects.
A common challenge across the schools is high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes observed. Additionally, the schools in this zip code area generally perform well below state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, suggesting systemic challenges impacting student learning and achievement in this community. Further investigation and targeted interventions will be crucial to improving outcomes for students in this area.
