Summary:
The 74447 zip code area is home to three high schools: Okmulgee High School, Preston High School, and Wilson High School. While all three schools serve grades 9-12, Preston High School stands out as the top performer in the area, ranking 58th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Preston High School boasts stronger academic performance across multiple subjects, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and U.S. History compared to the state and the other two schools. The school also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% and a lower rate of chronic absenteeism at 19.0%. Additionally, Preston High School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 54.98%, compared to 92.15% at Okmulgee High and 76.14% at Wilson High.
In contrast, Okmulgee High School and Wilson High School have significantly lower proficiency rates, often less than half the state average, despite spending more per student. This suggests that resource allocation and other factors may be hindering student achievement at these schools. The similar chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools indicate that attendance challenges may be a systemic issue in the region.
