Summary:
The 73663 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Seiling Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges that have contributed to its below-average performance compared to other elementary schools in Oklahoma.
Seiling Elementary School is ranked 345 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it in the bottom half of the state's elementary schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics trailing the Oklahoma average across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, Seiling Elementary School does have some positive attributes, such as a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and per-student spending that is above the state average. The school's strongest performance is in 5th grade Science, where 46% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 33%. However, the school's overall declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that it will need to address these issues to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
