Summary:
The 73150 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Barnes Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 378 students. The school is part of the Midwest City-Del City school district, which is ranked 359 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Barnes Elementary School appears to be a standout school in the 73150 zip code, with generally higher academic performance than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, 43% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 14% for the district and 26% for the state. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others are lagging behind. The school also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, and socioeconomic factors, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Barnes Elementary School's per-student spending of $8,767 in the 2018-2019 school year is relatively high, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 19.5 in the 2023-2024 school year. However, it's unclear how these resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. The significant declines in performance from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025 in some subjects and grades are also concerning and warrant further investigation.
