Summary:
The 74647 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Newkirk Elementary School and Peckham Public School. While Newkirk Elementary School has a 3-star rating and outperforms the state average in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, Peckham Public School struggles, ranking 591 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools and underperforming the state average in both subjects across all grades.
Newkirk Elementary School spends $9,666 per student, which is lower than the state average, while Peckham Public School spends a significantly higher $18,858 per student. Both schools have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%. The student-teacher ratio at Newkirk Elementary School is 14.1, slightly higher than the state average, while Peckham Public School has a lower ratio of 12.2.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the two schools, which may be influenced by factors such as resource allocation and school-level practices. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted strategies to support the underperforming school could be valuable in improving educational outcomes for all students in the area. The differences in student demographics, particularly the free and reduced-price lunch rates, also raise questions about potential equity concerns that may be contributing to the performance disparities.
