Best High Schools in Duke, OK

Duke, Oklahoma, has one high school, Duke High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 52 students. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 94%, compared with 78% statewide, and its 2025–26 chronic absenteeism rate was 5%, versus 16% statewide. Test results are mixed rather than consistently high or low: the clearest academic pattern is stronger U.S. History results alongside weaker Mathematics and Science results.

Because it is the only school listed, there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking; within the school, U.S. History stands out at the top and Mathematics at the bottom. In 2025–26, all-grades proficiency was 50% in History, 13% in Mathematics, 18% in Science, and 29% in English Language Arts I. Compared with statewide results, the school was 9 percentage points higher in History, 12 points lower in Mathematics, 12 points lower in Science, and 3 points higher in ELA. For a like-for-like 11th-grade comparison, it was 9 points above the state in History but below in ELA, Mathematics, and Science.

Across the two years, the average of the four subject results moved closer to the state average: Duke High School averaged 27% in 2024–25 and 28% in 2025–26, while the state averaged 31% in both years; the gap narrowed from 4 points to 3. Science rose 6 points and Mathematics rose 1, while ELA fell 3 points and History fell 2. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile also improved, from 22 and 1 star in 2023–24 to 58 and 3 stars in 2025–26. Context figures include a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and 44% free/reduced lunch eligible, both for 2024–25; the available data do not show how these figures relate to outcomes.
