Summary:

The 74944 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, McCurtain Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 165 students. The school is part of the McCurtain school district, which is ranked 287 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McCurtain Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 777 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 424 out of 646 in 2020-2021. The school's academic performance is below state averages, with only 22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 20% in Mathematics, and 13% in Science for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% for the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite the school's challenges, it does not appear that staffing or funding levels are the primary drivers of its underperformance. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 for the 2023-2024 school year, and per-student spending is $10,643 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 80.61% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.
