Summary:
The 74941 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Keota Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 270 students. While the school's performance has declined over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 793 out of 957 in 2014-2015 to 407 out of 614 in 2024-2025, it continues to face significant challenges in academic achievement and student engagement.
Keota Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the state averages, with only 17% of students proficient in ELA, 19% in Math, and 24% in Science, compared to Oklahoma state averages of 26%, 26%, and 30%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which can further impact student learning and achievement. These academic struggles may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 86.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
Despite the challenges faced by Keota Elementary School, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and per-student spending of $8,822 for the 2018-2019 school year. Further investigation into the school's resource allocation and strategies to support student learning could provide valuable insights to help address the academic and engagement issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this Keota community.
