Summary:
The zip code 74133 in Oklahoma is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Union and Tulsa Classical Academy (a charter school district). The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly in test scores, with Union High School and Darnaby Elementary School standing out as the top-performing institutions in the area.
Darnaby Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Similarly, Cedar Ridge Elementary School is ranked 90th out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools and has strong academic performance. In contrast, schools like Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and Jarman Elementary School have lower test scores and academic outcomes.
The data also suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. The higher-performing schools like Darnaby and Cedar Ridge have lower free/reduced lunch rates, while the lower-performing schools like Grove Elementary and Jarman have much higher rates. Additionally, the presence of Tulsa Classical Academy Elementary School, a high-performing charter school, may be providing an alternative option for families in the area and contributing to the performance gaps between schools.
