Summary:
The 74860 zip code is home to a single high school, Paden High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 in the Paden school district. While the school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength and others of weakness, it appears to be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Paden High School is ranked 188 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 82.2%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate for 2024-2025 was 19.0%, higher than the state average. In terms of academic achievement, Paden High School outperformed the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency but underperformed in 11th-grade Mathematics and U.S. History proficiency.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be investing resources in its students, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 in 2023-2024 and per-student spending of $14,903 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be working to support its students and address their academic needs, though more information would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and the factors contributing to its strengths and weaknesses.
