Summary:
The 73521 zip code area is home to two high schools - Altus High School and Navajo High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and are located in the Altus and Navajo school districts, respectively.
Based on the data, Navajo High School appears to be the stronger performer of the two, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a lower student-teacher ratio. The school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Altus High School's 3-star rating. Navajo High School also outperformed Altus High School and the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 11th-grade students.
Both schools have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is an area that could be addressed to improve overall student outcomes. Additionally, Altus High School has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. However, the similar per-student spending between the two schools indicates that funding alone may not be the primary driver of their performance differences, and other factors, such as school leadership and resource allocation, may play a more significant role.
