Summary:
Zip code 74964 has two Watts Elementary School and Watts High School, serving PK–8 and grades 9–12 in the Watts district. In the latest reported results, 2025–2026, performance varied by subject: the elementary school scored 9% in ELA I and 15% in math, while the high school scored 15% in ELA I, 6% in math, 12% in science, and 31% in U.S. History. Most importantly, every supplied All Grades result at both schools was below the corresponding state result.
Each school has a relative strength in a different subject, rather than one clearly leading across the board: the high school’s ELA I result was 6 points above the elementary school’s, while the elementary school’s math result was 9 points higher. These are descriptive comparisons, not like-grade rankings, because the schools serve different grades. The high school’s strongest result relative to the state was U.S. History: its 31% was 10 points below the state’s 41%, the smallest gap among its reported subjects. The grade-matched 11th-grade results also put the high school below the state in all four subjects, with gaps of 21 points in ELA I, 11 in math, 9 in science, and 10 in U.S. History.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the elementary school improved by 5 points each in ELA I and math; the high school fell 6 points in ELA I and 4 in science, while math rose 1 point and U.S. History fell 4.

Enrollment was 130 and 76, and student–teacher ratios were 10.8 and 13.3. All Grades comparisons should be read cautiously because the schools serve different grade spans.
