Summary:
The 73115 zip code area in Midwest City, Oklahoma is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Midwest City-Del City school district. While the schools share common challenges, a few stand out in both positive and negative ways.
Townsend Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $10,390 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 16.5, contributing to its relatively stronger performance in math and science compared to other elementary schools in the area. In contrast, Del City High School, the only high school in the data set, struggles with very low proficiency rates in English, math, and science, as well as a 4-year graduation rate of just 82.2%.
Across the schools, there are concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 19% and a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. While per-student spending varies, the overall low academic performance suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve outcomes for these students and their communities.
