Summary:
There are five schools in ZIP code 73717: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, serving grades from prekindergarten through high school. 2025–2026 test results are available for Alva High School, Alva Middle School, Longfellow Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School; Washington Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 1 and has no test scores in the data. The clearest overall finding is that results vary considerably by school: Alva High’s 54% in ELA I was 29 percentage points above Alva Middle’s 25%.
Top results differ by subject. Alva High led ELA I at 54%, compared with 26% statewide, and scored 57% in U.S. History, 16 points above the state; it is the only school with a reported history result. Longfellow had the highest all-grades math score, 44%, while Lincoln led science at 51%. In contrast, Alva Middle was lowest in all three reported subjects—25% in ELA I, 22% in math and 29% in science—and each result was 1 to 3 points below the state figure.
Recent trends are mixed: across schools with comparable results, average ELA I fell by 2 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math rose 3 points and science rose 9. Individual changes also differ: Alva High’s math result rose 15 points, while Lincoln’s ELA I fell 9 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 64 to 95 for Alva High and from 25 to 56 for Alva Middle; these are rankings, not test scores. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025 were 61% at Longfellow and 56% at Alva Middle, observations that do not explain achievement. Because schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results are not direct comparisons of identical student groups.
