Best Public Schools in Zip Code 74860

Summary:

The 74860 zip code area is home to two schools - Paden Elementary School and Paden High School, both part of the Paden school district. While Paden High School is performing reasonably well, with a high 11th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate, Paden Elementary School is struggling significantly, with very low proficiency rates across multiple subjects.

Paden Elementary School has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 77.18%, indicating a large population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's statewide ranking has improved over time, but it is still only rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In contrast, Paden High School has fluctuating statewide rankings, going from the bottom 54% of Oklahoma high schools to the top 41% and back again. The high school's rating is 3 out of 5 stars.

Both schools have relatively low student enrollment, with Paden Elementary at 149 students and Paden High at 56 students. This small school size may allow for more individualized attention, but could also limit the availability of resources and course offerings. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, nearly double the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance observed, particularly at the elementary school level.
