Summary:
The 73119 zip code area of Oklahoma City is home to 7 elementary schools, serving grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. This diverse set of public and public charter schools showcases a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Arthur Elementary School and Santa Fe South Penn Elementary School outperforming the district and state averages, while others face significant challenges.
Arthur Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with 25% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 42% in Mathematics across all grades. Its 3rd grade proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 33% in ELA and 54% in Math, far exceeding the Oklahoma City and state averages. Similarly, Santa Fe South Penn Elementary School, a public charter, also performs well, with 27% of students proficient or better in ELA and 46% in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges faced by many of the schools in this area. All schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, and the majority have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors likely contribute to the wide performance gaps observed between the highest and lowest performing schools, as well as between the schools and district/state averages. The data suggests the critical importance of addressing these challenges to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
