Best Public Schools in Whitesboro, OK

Summary:

The city of Whitesboro, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Whitesboro Elementary School and Whitesboro High School. While the high school has seen some fluctuations in its performance, both schools are currently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Whitesboro Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 239th out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 to 809th out of 957 in 2014-2015. Its current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger also indicates it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. Whitesboro High School has had a more volatile performance, ranking as high as 108th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating), but then dropping to 264th out of 463 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating).

Both Whitesboro Elementary and Whitesboro High have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0%, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools perform significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Despite the lower-than-average test scores and high absenteeism, the Whitesboro schools appear to be investing more resources per student than the state average, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of these funds to drive improved student outcomes.
