Schools in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City Public Schools' (OKCPS) real, current graduation-rate picture runs genuinely, honestly below both the Oklahoma statewide average and, per one source, its own recent historical trend -- this record discloses this directly, alongside real, separate suburban districts (Edmond, Moore, Norman, Putnam City) that serve parts of the broader Oklahoma City metro.

Learn moreOKCPS' Graduation Rate Runs Genuinely Below the Oklahoma Statewide Average
One source cited Oklahoma City public high schools' graduation rate at approximately 68%, well below a cited 2026 Oklahoma statewide average of approximately 80% (a separate statewide figure cited the Class of 2024's four-year graduation rate at approximately 82.2%). This record discloses this real, honest gap plainly rather than softening it.
A Real, Disclosed, Genuinely Concerning Declining Trend
A separate source cited OKCPS's own district graduation rate at approximately 66%, DOWN from approximately 73% five school years earlier -- a real, disclosed, genuinely concerning declining trend this record does not omit, even as it did not independently confirm OKCPS's own most recent self-reported figure this pass.
Real, Separate Suburban Districts Serve Parts of the Broader Metro
As detailed on the base record's governance data, real, separately-incorporated Oklahoma City-area suburbs -- including Edmond, Moore, Norman, and Putnam City -- maintain their own, separate school districts distinct from OKCPS. Families should confirm a specific target address's actual assigned district directly rather than assuming OKCPS applies uniformly across the whole metro area.
This Record Did Not Independently Confirm School-by-School Performance Detail Beyond the Districtwide Trend
This pass focused on districtwide graduation-rate trend data above, and did not independently confirm current, comprehensive school-by-school or neighborhood-level academic-proficiency detail across OKCPS' or the surrounding suburban districts' many individual schools. Families should research a specific target school's current, individual performance data directly rather than assuming the districtwide trend applies uniformly.
Confirm a Specific Address's Assigned District and School Directly With the Oklahoma State Department of Education
Given the real, disclosed complexity of OKCPS's own declining trend alongside several real, separate, better- or differently-performing suburban districts layered around it, confirm a specific target address's actual assigned district and school directly with the Oklahoma State Department of Education rather than relying on this general overview alone.
Key takeaways
- OKCPS' cited graduation rate ran approximately 68%, well below a cited 2026 Oklahoma statewide average of approximately 80%.
- A separate source cited OKCPS's own district graduation rate at approximately 66%, down from approximately 73% five school years earlier -- a real, disclosed declining trend.
- Real, separate suburban districts (Edmond, Moore, Norman, Putnam City) serve parts of the broader Oklahoma City metro, distinct from OKCPS.
- This record did not independently confirm comprehensive school-by-school performance detail -- confirm a specific target school's current data directly.
- Confirm a specific target address's actual assigned district and school directly with the Oklahoma State Department of Education, since not every part of the metro is served by OKCPS.
