Summary:
The 73116 zip code area of Oklahoma City is home to two schools - Nichols Hills Elementary School and HARDING CHARTER PREPARATORY Middle School at INDEPENDENCE. While the elementary school outperforms state and district averages in academic achievement, the middle school lags behind in test scores despite a higher statewide ranking.
Nichols Hills Elementary School stands out with relatively high test scores, particularly in mathematics, compared to the Oklahoma City and state averages. However, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and a very high free/reduced lunch rate of over 77%, which likely contributes to its low statewide ranking despite the stronger academic performance.
In contrast, HARDING CHARTER PREPARATORY Middle School at INDEPENDENCE, a public charter school, has a higher statewide ranking than the traditional public school, but its academic performance is generally lower than the state and Harding Independence (Charter) district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The middle school also shares the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% with the elementary school, which is an area of concern for both institutions in the 73116 zip code.
