Summary:
The city of Shidler, Oklahoma is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The schools include Ward Elementary School, Shidler High School, and Shidler Middle School.

Ward Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, with higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade mathematics compared to the Shidler and Oklahoma state averages.

Shidler High School also performs relatively well, ranking 261 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools in 2024-2025 and maintaining a strong 82.2% four-year graduation rate.
In contrast, Shidler Middle School underperforms the Shidler and Oklahoma state averages in English Language Arts I and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, all three schools in Shidler face high rates of chronic absenteeism, which can significantly impact academic achievement. The data suggests that the Shidler school district may benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to address these areas of concern.
