Best Public Schools in Zip Code 74533

The 74533 zip code area is home to two schools - Caney Elementary School and Caney High School, both of which serve the Caney school district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on several key metrics, including test scores, attendance, and graduation rates.

Both Caney Elementary and Caney High School have ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma schools in their respective categories, with Caney Elementary ranked 381 out of 646 elementary schools and Caney High School ranked 438 out of 463 high schools. The proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with Caney Elementary having only 17% proficiency in ELA and 27% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. At Caney High School, the proficiency rates are even lower, with only 24% in ELA and 3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% and 18%, respectively.

Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 19% of students chronically absent at both Caney Elementary and Caney High School. Caney High School also has a four-year graduation rate of 82.2%, which is lower than the state average. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, the schools are still struggling to achieve better outcomes, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the students and the school communities.
