Best Public Schools in Fort Gibson, OK

Fort Gibson has four schools in the Fort Gibson district, serving children from early learning through high school. Three schools have test results: Fort Gibson High School, Fort Gibson Middle School and Fort Gibson Intermediate Elementary School; no test scores are supplied for the Fort Gibson Early Learning Center. In 2025–2026, all three tested schools scored above the state in all-grades ELA, math and science, but results varied substantially by school. The clearest area-wide takeaway is the sharp ELA gap: high school proficiency was 60%, compared with 28% at the middle school.

Fort Gibson High School stands out in ELA and U.S. History, with 60% and 57% proficient—34 and 16 points above the state, respectively. Its ELA result was 31 points higher than the average of the other two tested schools. The middle school had the lowest all-grades ELA result, at 28%, just 2 points above the state; its seventh-grade ELA and math results were stronger, at 39% and 45%, while eighth-grade ELA was 19%, 1 point below the state. Fort Gibson Intermediate Elementary School led math at 39%, 14 points above the state, and tied the high school in science at 37%, 7 points above the state. The high school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89%, 11 points above the state.

Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the high school improved or held steady in every reported subject, while the middle school’s science result fell 30 points, from 64% to 34%, and intermediate science fell 7 points. Across the three schools, the average advantage over the state narrowed by about 3 points, largely reflecting the science decline. SchoolDigger gives the district four stars and ranks it 66th of 450; its high school ranking improved to 19th of 462 schools, at the 96th percentile, while middle and intermediate rankings were less consistent. Other context may help families compare: student–teacher ratios in 2024–2025 ranged from 14.1 at the high school to 17.2 at intermediate, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 45.9% at the middle school to 49.7% at intermediate. These measures describe school context, not a reason for test results.
