Summary:
The 74931 zip code area is home to two small elementary schools - Marble City Public School and Cave Springs Elementary School. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with high rates of free and reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism. Unfortunately, neither school is a standout performer, with both ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools in recent years.
Marble City Public School had only 7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12% in Mathematics, significantly below the state average. Cave Springs Elementary School performed even worse, with only 3% of students proficient or better in both subjects. Despite the higher spending per student at Cave Springs Elementary School, the school's performance metrics are still significantly below the state average.
The small size of the schools, with Marble City Public School having 78 students and Cave Springs Elementary School having 75 students, suggests that class size may not be the primary driver of the schools' academic challenges. Other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in improving student outcomes in these high-poverty communities served by the Marble City and Cave Springs school districts.
