Summary:
The 74878 zip code is home to a single high school, Wanette High School, which serves a small student population of just 25 students. Despite its small size, the school faces significant challenges, ranking 446th out of 452 high schools in Oklahoma and receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wanette High School's academic performance is well below state averages, with only 15% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, 0% proficient in Math and Science, and 31% proficient in US History, compared to state averages of 37%, 18%, 21%, and 42%, respectively. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and a 4-year graduation rate of 82.2%. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the school's high poverty level, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's poor academic outcomes, Wanette High School's spending per student ($14,843) is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student learning. The school's declining performance over the past decade, from a ranking of 134th out of 449 schools in 2014-2015 to 442nd out of 463 schools in 2024-2025, suggests a concerning trend that requires immediate attention and support from the Wanette school district and the broader community.
