Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 73505 include 11 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school grades, with 5,971 students enrolled; nine are elementary schools, and Bishop Public School serves PK–8. Across elementary schools, average results were below Oklahoma’s in grades 3–5 ELA and math and in 5th-grade science: 16% versus 25% in ELA, 22% versus 31% in math, and 24% versus 35% in science. The most important finding is that results vary considerably among schools, even as the elementary averages trail the state in all three comparisons.
Almor West Elementary School leads the grades 3–5 math average at 34%, 13 points above the other elementary schools’ average and 2 points above the state. Hugh Bish Elementary School has the highest ELA average at 24%, 10 points above the other schools’ average, while Bishop leads 5th-grade science at 40%, 18 points above the other schools’ average and 5 above the state. At the other end, Ridgecrest Elementary School is lowest in all three comparisons: 8% ELA, 9% math, and 11% science—about 8, 15, and 15 points below the other schools’ averages. The only high school, Eisenhower High School, scored below the state in all four reported subjects, but its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 83%, compared with 78% statewide.
Recent elementary averages moved downward: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 2 points, math 3, and science 4. There were exceptions: Almor West improved in all three subjects, while Woodland Hills Elementary School gained 15 points in science. Attendance offers another contrast: chronic absenteeism was 45% at Ridgecrest and 41% at Cleveland Elementary School, versus 16% statewide; Bishop was at 4%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles range from 56 at Bishop to 5 at Ridgecrest; Almor West is at 49 and Woodland Hills at 47. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 range from 68% at Bishop to 96% at Cleveland; these figures describe student circumstances, not a cause of results.
