Summary:
The 74132 zip code area has only one school, Northwest Elementary School, which serves students in grades pre-K through 5 and is part of the Jenks school district. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 263 out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 352 out of 614 in 2024-2025, its performance on standardized tests remains below the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 22% and 31%, respectively, compared to the Jenks district averages of 35% and 35%, and the Oklahoma state averages of 26% and 26%.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 69% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that Northwest Elementary School serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,103, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 15.8, which may indicate a need for additional teaching resources to support student learning.
Overall, the analysis of the data for Northwest Elementary School reveals some areas of concern, such as the declining performance, below-average test scores, and high percentage of students from low-income families. These findings suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to address the challenges it is facing and improve educational outcomes for its students.
