Summary:
The 74023 zip code is home to a single middle school, Cushing Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 36th out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023 to 99th out of 369 in 2024-2025, its performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average while others lag behind.
Cushing Middle School faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% in the 2024-2025 school year and a high percentage of students (62.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. The school's spending per student was $9,196 in the 2018-2019 school year, and it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1.
Despite these challenges, Cushing Middle School remains the sole middle school option for families in the 74023 zip code. The school's mixed academic performance and declining statewide ranking suggest that there may be room for improvement, and further analysis and targeted interventions could help the school better serve its students and the local community.
