Summary:
The 74015 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to two public schools - Catoosa High School and Wells Middle School, both part of the Catoosa school district. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with very high free/reduced lunch rates. However, both schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and declining statewide rankings.
Catoosa High School is the only high school in the area, with a relatively large enrollment of 556 students. While the school's graduation rate is slightly below the state average at 82.2%, its test scores are significantly lower, with only 30% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% in Mathematics. Wells Middle School, the sole middle school in the area, has an even more concerning trend, with its statewide ranking declining from 126th to 284th out of Oklahoma middle schools in recent years. The school's test scores are also well below state averages, with only 14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Both schools face significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation. The relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratios at these schools may be contributing factors to their poor academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and additional resources will likely be necessary to address these issues and improve educational opportunities for the students in this community.
