Summary:
The 73624 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Will Rogers Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 617 out of 957 schools in 2014-2015 to 432 out of 614 schools in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.
Will Rogers Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 15%, compared to the district's 19% and the state's 26%. Similarly, the school's overall proficiency rate in Mathematics was 22%, compared to the district's 22% and the state's 26%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% in the 2024-2025 school year, which may be contributing to its overall academic performance.
The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 85.92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This raises concerns about the availability of resources and support systems to address the unique needs of these students and ensure equitable educational opportunities. While the school's performance is below the district and state averages, it is important to note that the Burns Flat-Dill City district itself is also performing below the state average in many areas, suggesting that the challenges faced by Will Rogers Elementary School may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the district or the state's education system.
