Best Public Schools in Zip Code 74001

Schools in ZIP code 74001 include one school, Avant Public School, serving pre-K through eighth grade and enrolling 47 students. For families, the key finding is that its 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency was below the state rate in both ELA and math: 11% compared with 26% in ELA and 25% in math.

There is no top-versus-bottom school comparison because Avant is the only school in the ZIP-code list. Its grade-level results show a more mixed picture: third-grade ELA proficiency was 30%, 4 points above the state’s 26%, while fourth-grade ELA was 10%, 12 points below the state’s 22%. Both tested grades were below the state in math: third grade was 20% versus 33%, and fourth grade was 30% versus 33%. The all-grades results were 15 points below the state in ELA and 14 points below in math, so the third-grade ELA result stands out as a relative strength, not a pattern across grades.

All-grades ELA and math proficiency each rose 3 points from 8% in 2024–2025 to 11% in 2025–2026, narrowing the state gap in both subjects, although results remained below state rates. SchoolDigger’s listing also moved from percentile 4 (rank 592 of 614, 0 stars) in 2024–2025 to percentile 35 (rank 410 of 626, 2 stars) in 2025–2026; these rankings are separate from proficiency scores. Other context includes a 7.9 student–teacher ratio and 87% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 16% statewide, a 13-point difference.
