Schools in Zip Code 73655

Zip code 73655 has two schools in Lone Wolf: Lone Wolf Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8, and Lone Wolf High School, serving grades 9–12; together they enroll 94 students. In 2025–2026, both schools were below state proficiency rates in the subjects they report, and the elementary school’s grade 3 and grade 6 ELA and mathematics results were all 0%. The most important concern is the breadth of the academic shortfalls, especially in elementary ELA and mathematics.

Lone Wolf High School stands out as the stronger school on the three all-grade subjects both schools report: its ELA proficiency was 22% versus 6% at the elementary school, mathematics was 11% versus 0%, and science was 16% versus 14%. Both schools remained below state rates in those subjects. SchoolDigger ranked the high school 348th of 462 schools (25th percentile, 1 star), while it ranked Lone Wolf Elementary School last, 626th of 626 (0th percentile, 0 stars). Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grade results are not grade-matched comparisons.

The high school’s scores fell in every tested subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA dropped from 34% to 22%, mathematics from 19% to 11%, science from 20% to 16%, and U.S. History from 45% to 26%. The elementary school’s all-grade ELA changed only from 7% to 6%, while mathematics stayed at 0%. SchoolDigger’s high school ranking also declined from 175th of 463 (62nd percentile) to 348th of 462. Context differs, too: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligibility was 85% at the high school and 81% at the elementary school; student-teacher ratios were 15.2 and 20.6, respectively. Both schools had chronic absenteeism below the state’s 16% rate, but the high school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 65%, compared with 78% statewide.
