Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73532

The 73532 zip code area is home to two schools - Duke Elementary School and Duke High School, both part of the Duke school district. These schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma schools, with below-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Duke Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 107 students and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Only 32% of students are proficient or better in ELA, and 19% in Math, significantly below the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%. In contrast, Duke High School has an even smaller enrollment of 59 students and a 1-star rating, with only 32% of 11th-graders proficient or better in ELA, 12% in Math, and 12% in Science.

Both schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The similar per-student spending at both schools, despite their differing performance, suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The schools may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to drive better educational outcomes. Additionally, the disparity in student-teacher ratios, with Duke High having a higher ratio of 15.4 compared to 11.7 at Duke Elementary, could be a factor in the schools' performance.
