Summary:

Alva, Oklahoma, has five schools serving 1,054 students from prekindergarten through high school: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Four have 2025–2026 test results; Washington Elementary School, which serves prekindergarten through first grade, has no results listed. Across schools with results, average proficiency was above state averages in English Language Arts, math and science. The most important contrast is that Alva Middle School was below the state in all three subjects.

Subject strengths differ by school. Alva High School led English Language Arts with 54% proficient, 26 percentage points above the other schools’ average and 28 points above the state. Longfellow Elementary School led math at 44%, 14 points above the other schools’ average; Lincoln Elementary School led science at 51%, 16 points above the other schools’ average. Meanwhile, Alva Middle scored 25% in English Language Arts, 22% in math and 29% in science—one, three and one points below the state, respectively. Alva High also had the only U.S. History result, 57% compared with 41% statewide.

Recent results show gains alongside setbacks: Alva High’s math proficiency rose 15 points to 28%, while its English Language Arts result slipped two points to 54%. Alva Middle improved six points in both English Language Arts and math, while Lincoln’s English Language Arts and math results fell nine and four points. SchoolDigger rankings rose from the 64th to the 95th percentile for Alva High and from the 25th to the 56th for Alva Middle between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026; Lincoln moved from the 80th to the 74th percentile. Context also varies: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 61% at Longfellow and 46% at Alva High; student-teacher ratios were 12.6 at Longfellow and 13.4 at Lincoln. These measures offer context, not an explanation for test results, and school grade spans mean some comparisons are not like-for-like.
