Summary:
The 73122 zip code in Oklahoma is home to a single middle school, James L. Capps Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Putnam City School District, which is ranked 333 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
James L. Capps Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 140 out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023 to 326 out of 369 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 13% of students proficient in ELA and 9% proficient in math for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% and a high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 88.55%.
Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $8,502 for the 2018-2019 school year is in line with the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.4 for the 2023-2024 school year is relatively low. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the root causes of the school's struggles, such as attendance, resource allocation, and instructional practices, will be crucial to improving the educational experience for the students in this community.
