Best Public Schools in Hooker, OK

Hooker has two schools serving 610 students: Hooker Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 8, and Hooker High School serves grades 9–12. The elementary school enrolls 406 students and the high school 204. Their results show different strengths by subject, rather than one school leading across the board. The most important finding is that high-school ELA remains above the state despite a sharp one-year drop: it fell 15 percentage points to 32%, six points above the state.

In 2025–2026, the elementary school stood out in science: its all-grades result was 47%, 17 points above the state, and grade 8 reached 64% compared with 36% statewide. The high school led in all-grades ELA, at 32% versus the elementary school’s 16%, and in U.S. History, with 58% proficiency, 17 points above the state. The weaker results vary by subject and grade: high-school science was 16%, 14 points below the state, while elementary grade 7 ELA was 8%, 15 points below, and grade 8 math was 5%, 12 points below. The elementary school also led all-grades math, 24% to 18%, though both schools’ all-grades results cover different grade spans and are not like-for-like comparisons.

Recent trends reinforce those contrasts. Elementary science rose from 31% to 47% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while its ELA fell from 20% to 16%; high-school ELA fell from 47% to 32%, and U.S. History rose from 54% to 58%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose for the elementary school from 16 to 38 across the three reported years; the high school’s ranking rose from 71 to 80, then dropped to 67. Context differs too: in 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 15 at the elementary school and 12.4 at the high school. Both reported free/reduced lunch eligible as their low-income measure that year—63% and 58%, respectively. The high school also reported a 98% graduation rate in 2024–2025, while 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 2% at the elementary school and 3% at the high school, compared with 16% statewide.
