Summary:
The 74839 zip code is home to a single high school, Graham-Dustin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Oklahoma high schools over the past 3 years, with a ranking of 441 out of 463 schools in 2024-2025. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low proficiency rates on state assessments, with only 3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% and 18%, respectively.
Graham-Dustin High School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 90.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, which could suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, this has not translated into improved academic performance, as the school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that Graham-Dustin High School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a student population facing significant economic disadvantages. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning practices.
