Summary:
Porum, Oklahoma, has two schools serving PK through grade 12: Porum Elementary School serves PK–8 and enrolls 270 students, while Porum High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 117, for 387 students combined. In 2025–2026, their average all-grades science proficiency was 34%, above the state’s 30%; their math average was 22%, below the state’s 25%. ELA averaged 27%, close to the state’s 26%, but varied sharply between schools. The clearest shared bright spot is science, while mathematics is the main area of concern across the two schools.
The schools stand out in different subjects: High leads in ELA, with 37% proficiency, 20 percentage points above Elementary’s 17% and 11 points above the state. Elementary leads in math at 27%, 10 points above High and 2 above the state. It also leads in science at 37%, 6 points above High and 7 above the state; High’s 31% is just above the state’s 30%. High’s U.S. History result is 31%, 10 points below the state, with no other Porum school result to compare. Grade-level results add some variation: Elementary eighth-grade science is 34%, below the grade’s state result of 36%, despite the school’s stronger all-grades science result.
Results rose in most subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. High gained 10 points in ELA, 14 in math and 21 in science; Elementary was unchanged in ELA, gained 2 points in math and 13 in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile rose from 11 to 65 for High and from 43 to 54 for Elementary. Context measures differ: in 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 10.4 at High and 12.4 at Elementary, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 75% and 80%, respectively. High’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 64%, compared with 78% statewide. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not direct comparisons of the same grades.
