Summary:
The 74129 zip code area in Oklahoma is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population with a significant Hispanic majority. While some schools in the area, such as College Bound Academy Charter, stand out for their small class sizes and high Hispanic enrollment, others, like Skelly Elementary and Nathan Hale High School, face significant academic challenges, with low test scores and statewide rankings.
The schools in this area serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all schools reporting high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 81.31% to 90.79%. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the academic struggles observed in some of the schools, particularly Skelly Elementary and Nathan Hale High School, which consistently rank in the bottom 20% and 2% of Oklahoma schools, respectively.
The data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the schools in this Tulsa area, such as increased funding, teacher professional development, and community-based programs. The presence of a charter school, College Bound Academy Charter, also highlights the importance of school choice and the potential for innovative approaches to improve educational outcomes in underperforming districts.
