Best Public Schools in Bokoshe, OK

Bokoshe Elementary School serves PK–8 and Bokoshe High School serves grades 9–12; together, they enroll 136 students. In 2025–26, both schools were below Oklahoma’s proficiency rates in ELA and math.

Recent test trends were mostly flat or down: elementary ELA stayed at 8% and math slipped from 6% to 5%; high-school ELA fell from 24% to 16% and math from 3% to 0%. High-school science improved from 14% to 16%, while U.S. History declined from 37% to 31%. SchoolDigger’s high-school statewide ranking moved from 328 of 432 schools (24th percentile) in 2023–24 to 397 of 462 (14th percentile) in 2025–26. Beyond tests, the high school’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 87%, versus 78% statewide, and its 2025–26 chronic absenteeism rate was 0%, compared with 16% statewide; the elementary rate was 7%. For 2024–25, the elementary school had a 13.5 student–teacher ratio and was 97% directly certified for free meals, and is marked likely to serve free meals to all students (Community Eligibility); the high school’s ratio was 10.4 and 93% were free/reduced lunch eligible. These schools serve different grade spans and have small enrollments, so school-to-school comparisons warrant care.
