Summary:
The 74011 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 alternative school, primarily located in the Broken Arrow and Bixby school districts. While the schools exhibit varying levels of academic performance, a few standouts emerge, including Wolf Creek Elementary School, which ranks among the top 180 elementary schools in Oklahoma, and East Elementary School, a Bixby district school with a history of strong performance.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state average, and there are notable gaps in test scores between different grade levels and subject areas, suggesting room for improvement in ensuring consistent academic achievement. The schools also serve student populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, which may contribute to differences in academic performance and resource needs.
While per-student spending varies across the schools, the differences are not dramatic, and understanding how these funds are allocated could provide insights into the drivers of academic performance. Additionally, the two Bixby district schools in the data set generally outperform the Broken Arrow district schools, an area that warrants further investigation to understand the factors contributing to these differences.
