Summary:
Wanette, Oklahoma, has two schools serving 80 students: Wanette Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 8, and Wanette High School serves grades 9–12. In 2025–26, the elementary reported 3% proficiency in both ELA I and math, compared with 26% and 25% statewide; the high school reported 8% in ELA I and 17% in math. The most important concern is the elementary’s large state gaps: 23 percentage points in ELA I and 22 points in math.
Wanette High stands out above the elementary in both subjects they share: its ELA I result was 5 points higher, and its math result was 14 points higher. It also reported 16% proficiency in science and 23% in U.S. History, the only school results available for those subjects; both were below the state’s 30% and 41%. A grade-matched comparison gives the high school a stronger result in 11th-grade math: 17%, matching the state, while its 11th-grade ELA I, science, and history results were below state figures. The schools’ All Grades comparisons are not perfectly grade-matched because they serve different grade spans.
Recent results at the high school moved in opposite directions by subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math rose from 0% to 17% and science from 0% to 16%, while ELA I fell from 15% to 8% and history from 31% to 23%. SchoolDigger ranked the high school in the 25th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 5th percentile the previous year but below its 70th-percentile standing in 2014–15; it gave the Wanette district a one-star rating and a 20th-percentile ranking. Context also differs: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 85% at the elementary and 95% at the high school, and reported student-teacher ratios were 60 and 20. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 22% at the elementary versus 16% statewide, and 7% at the high school. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 55%, compared with 78% statewide. Small enrollments mean results can be sensitive to a small number of students.
