Summary:
ZIP code 73848 has two schools: Laverne Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolls 301 students, while Laverne High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 139. The clearest overall strength is the elementary school’s performance: in 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 48% in ELA, 53% in math and 73% in science, exceeding state results by 22, 28 and 43 percentage points, respectively. It was also above the state in every supplied grade-specific subject result, with especially large gaps in grade 3 ELA (+44 points), grade 3 math (+40) and grade 8 science (+51). The most important finding is that the elementary school’s strong results show up across multiple grades and subjects, not just in one standout score.
Laverne Elementary School has the stronger reported all-grades results in ELA, math and science, by 5, 24 and 48 points, respectively; these all-grades figures are not a like-grade comparison because the schools serve different grades. The main concern is science at Laverne High School: its 25% proficiency was 5 points below the state’s 30%, the only below-state all-grades subject result. The high school was above the state in ELA (+17 points), math (+4) and U.S. History (+34); its 11th-grade results were above state results in all four subjects. Graduation is another strength: 97% in 2024–2025, compared with 78% statewide, a 20-point gap.
Results moved in different directions between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Elementary science rose 17 points and math 2, while ELA slipped 1; at the high school, ELA rose 14 points, math 7 and U.S. History 4, while science fell 5. SchoolDigger ranks the elementary school 36th of 626 schools (94th percentile, 5 stars) and the high school 51st of 462 (89th percentile, 4 stars). In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 13.7 and 12.1, respectively; free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 60% at the elementary school and 55% at the high school. Chronic absenteeism was 2% and 5%, both below the state’s 16%, though the high school was above the district’s 3%.
