Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73503

Summary:

The 73503 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Freedom Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,314 students. The school is part of the Lawton school district, which is ranked 349 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Elementary School has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its academic performance declining across key metrics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 19.0% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were generally lower than the Lawton district and state averages across all grade levels. This trend has contributed to the school's ranking dropping from 257 out of 276 in 2022-2023 to 339 out of 614 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star.

The data suggests that Freedom Elementary School's struggles may be linked to socioeconomic factors, as 67.05% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's spending per student was $7,630 in 2018-2019, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 20.2 in 2023-2024, both of which are below the state averages. These resource and staffing challenges may be contributing to the school's academic performance issues and will likely require a comprehensive approach to address.
