Summary:
The 74041 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Kiefer school district. Overall, the schools in this area are underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively high rates of economically disadvantaged students.
None of the schools in the 74041 zip code stand out as clear performers. Kiefer Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 196 out of 276 schools in 2022-2023 to 540 out of 614 schools in 2024-2025. Rongey Middle School has also experienced inconsistent performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years. At the high school level, Kiefer High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%, which is lower than the state average.
Across all three schools, there are common challenges, including low proficiency rates in core subjects, high chronic absenteeism (19.0%), and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates (ranging from 46.46% to 49.18%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The differences in per-student spending between the schools also suggest potential funding disparities within the district, which could be contributing to the uneven performance across the different school levels.
