Summary:
The 73939 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools. The high schools, Goodwell High School and Yarbrough High School, both perform well, ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools and outperforming the state average in several test score categories. In contrast, the elementary schools show more variation, with Goodwell Elementary School performing better than Yarbrough Elementary School based on state rankings and test scores.
The schools in the 73939 zip code area serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 53.7% to 82.11%. This is reflected in the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary schools ($8,988 for Goodwell vs. $13,366 for Yarbrough) and the high schools ($12,108 for Goodwell vs. $27,692 for Yarbrough). Additionally, all schools in the area have a consistent 19.0% chronic absenteeism rate, which may be an area of concern that requires further analysis and targeted interventions.
Overall, the 73939 zip code area offers a mix of educational options, with the high schools, Goodwell High School and Yarbrough High School, standing out as strong performers. However, the disparities in elementary school performance and funding, as well as the high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism, suggest that there may be room for improvement in the overall educational landscape of the area. Parents and community members may want to further investigate these findings and work with the Goodwell and Yarbrough school districts to address these challenges.
