Summary

Hugh Bish Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 303 students in grades PK-5 in Lawton, Oklahoma. Despite the Lawton school district being ranked 349 out of 452 districts in the state with a 1-star rating, Hugh Bish Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Oklahoma in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

One of the school's key strengths is its ability to support students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2024-2025, Hugh Bish's low-income students ranked 111 out of 502 Oklahoma elementary schools, rated 4 out of 5 stars, while the state average for low-income students was only 2 out of 5 stars.

While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, there are still areas for improvement, such as English Language Arts proficiency, which lags behind the state average in some grade levels.
