Summary:
The 73127 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to 6 public schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spread across the Putnam City and Western Heights school districts. While the schools serve a diverse student population, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the different institutions.
Putnam City West High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 1,935 students and the highest spending per student at $9,199. However, the school struggles with low test scores, with only 14% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's graduation rate of 82.2% is also lower than the state average. In contrast, the elementary schools in the Western Heights district, such as Council Grove Elementary and Greenvale Elementary, perform better relative to their district averages.
The data also reveals a strong correlation between poverty and academic performance, with the elementary schools that have the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Hilldale Elementary and Windsor Hills Elementary, also having some of the lowest test scores. Additionally, all schools in the 73127 zip code area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the overall low academic performance. Addressing these disparities and improving educational opportunities for all students in the area will be crucial for the long-term success of the community.
