Summary:
The 74840 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools, Earlsboro Elementary School and Earlsboro High School, which have consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Oklahoma schools over the past decade. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the schools struggle significantly, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Earlsboro Elementary had only 11% proficiency in ELA compared to the state average of 26%, and Earlsboro High had only 4% proficiency in ELA for 11th grade compared to the state average of 37%. Attendance is also a challenge, with both schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of 19% in the 2024-2025 school year.
Despite the persistent low performance, the Earlsboro school district has struggled to make significant improvements. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, whether through additional resources, teacher training, or community-based programs, will be crucial in supporting the students and families in this area.
