Summary:
Ketchum, Oklahoma, has three schools serving PK–12: Ketchum Elementary School (PK–5), Ketchum Middle School (grades 6–8), and Ketchum High School (grades 9–12), with 543 students combined. The strongest subject results differ by school, and the area’s 2025–2026 all-grades averages were 34% in English Language Arts (ELA), 30% in mathematics, and 36% in science. Because the schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results are not direct same-grade comparisons. The clearest area-wide finding is uneven performance, especially in science, where the school results span 43 percentage points.
Ketchum Elementary School stands out in mathematics and science: its 47% in math was 23 points above the next school, and its 61% in science was 33 points above the next school. Ketchum High School leads in ELA at 47%, 18 points above the next school, and its 47% in U.S. History is 6 points above the state; no other school has a reported result in that subject. Ketchum Middle School has the lowest result among the three in each shared subject: 25% in ELA, 18% in math, and 28% in science. Those scores are 1, 7, and 2 points below the state, respectively. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings place Elementary at the 78th percentile, High at the 77th, and Middle at the 50th.
Recent results show different trajectories, not a uniform area trend: High improved in all four reported subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Elementary and Middle declined in each of their three shared subjects. Across schools and subjects, the equal-weight average lead over the state narrowed from 8 points to 6 points. High’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89%, compared with 78% statewide; chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 1% at Elementary and 0% at Middle and High, versus 16% statewide. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 15.9 at Elementary, 13.5 at Middle, and 11.7 at High. All three reported the same low-income measure, free/reduced lunch eligible, for 2024–2025: 68% at Elementary, 73% at Middle, and 55% at High; these are useful context, not explanations for achievement.
