Summary:
Muskogee has 14 schools—eight elementary, three middle and three high schools—serving students from elementary through high school; 11 have 2025–2026 test results. Across those schools, average proficiency was 25% in ELA, 21% in math and 31% in science, compared with state results of 26%, 25% and 30%. The biggest finding for families is the wide gap between schools: Sadler Arts Academy led in all three subjects, while some schools scored far below the state.
Sadler Arts Academy scored 61% in ELA, 71% in math and 72% in science—35, 46 and 42 points above state results. SchoolDigger ranked it 14th of 626 schools statewide, in the 98th percentile, with five stars. Hilldale Middle School also stood out, with 29% ELA, 32% math and 44% science, all above state results. Hilldale High School was strong in ELA (44%) and U.S. History (60%, 19 points above the state), but had 11% math proficiency. At the lower end, Cherokee Elementary School had the lowest ELA and math results, at 4% in each, and 9% in science. Muskogee High School had 27% ELA but 9% math and 6% science.
Recent changes are mixed: the average ELA result for the same 11 schools was essentially unchanged at about 25%, while average math rose from 20% to 21%, narrowing its gap with the state. School-level science changes varied sharply: Hilldale Lower Elementary School fell 16 points, while Hilldale High School rose 15. Context measures also vary: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 43% at Sadler, 71% at Hilldale Middle and 96% at Cherokee; student-teacher ratios were 19.2 at Sadler and 15.7 at Hilldale Middle. These figures do not by themselves explain school results. Three Oklahoma School for the Blind campuses have no test scores in the supplied data, and All Grades results are not perfectly comparable across schools serving different grades.
