Summary:
The city of Moyers, Oklahoma is home to two public schools - Moyers Elementary School and Moyers High School, both of which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Based on the available data, the schools in the Moyers school district appear to be struggling, with both the elementary and high school performing poorly on key metrics compared to the state average.
Moyers Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past 15 years, with a ranking of 857 out of 957 in 2014-2015 and 711 out of 846 in 2010-2011.

The Moyers schools also face challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, with both the elementary and high school reporting a 19.0% chronic absenteeism rate in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a disadvantaged student population, with Moyers Elementary School having an extremely high rate of 86.47% free and reduced lunch recipients in the 2023-2024 school year, and Moyers High School at 80.7% in the same year. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools are still unable to achieve better academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just staffing levels may be at play.
