Summary:
The 74052 zip code area is home to two schools - J.F. Kennedy Elementary School and Oilton High School, both of which serve the Oilton school district. While J.F. Kennedy Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, both schools face challenges in core academic areas and have high chronic absenteeism rates.
J.F. Kennedy Elementary School was previously ranked 241 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2014-2015 with a 4-star rating, but has since dropped to 340 out of 845 schools in 2009-2010 with a 3-star rating. The school struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (16%), Mathematics (24%), and Science (11%), well below state averages. Oilton High School, on the other hand, has seen a more significant decline, dropping from 213 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools in 2024-2025 to 365 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. The high school also underperforms the state average in English Language Arts (21%), Mathematics (15%), and Science (18%) proficiency, though it outperforms the state in U.S. History (61% vs. 42%).
Both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by their high free/reduced lunch rates of over 50%. Additionally, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, which may be contributing to their academic challenges. While Oilton High School spends significantly more per student ($12,034) compared to J.F. Kennedy Elementary ($7,383), this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve the performance of these schools.
