Best Public Schools in Watts, OK

Summary:

The city of Watts, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Watts Elementary School and Watts High School. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across several key metrics, with no clear standout schools in the area.

Watts Elementary School and Watts High School are both ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state of Oklahoma, with consistently low 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Watts Elementary School had only 4% proficiency in ELA, 10% in Math, and 7% in Science, while Watts High School's 11th-grade proficiency rates were also well below the state averages.

Additionally, both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The schools also face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and relatively low spending per student. These factors may be contributing to the overall academic challenges faced by the Watts school district.
