Summary:
The 73572 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Walters school district. While Walters Elementary School stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face significant challenges, with low proficiency rates across core subjects.
Walters Elementary School ranks 163 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, outperforming the state average in 3rd and 5th grade math. In contrast, Walters Middle School struggles academically, with single-digit proficiency rates in ELA and math. Walters High School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, but still underperforms the state in core subjects.
Across the district, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility suggest socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic achievement. Additionally, all three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which is an area of concern. The varying per-student spending, with the high school spending the most, may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation that could contribute to the disparities in performance.
