District-wide detail and a disclosed sourcing gap
Tahlequah Public Schools serves approximately 3,712 students in grades PK and K-12 with a 16-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and state test proficiency ran approximately 30% math / 30% reading district-wide -- a district-wide numeric star rating distinct from the high school's own rating was not clearly surfaced this pass, disclosed honestly rather than invented (base record).
A genuinely young overall population, driven by NSU
Tahlequah's own city-wide median age ran a real, disclosed 29.3 years -- notably younger than Cherokee County's own broader 37.0-year median, plausibly reflecting Northeastern State University's real, direct student population within the city itself (base record).
