Antlers

Antlers has three public schools serving preschool through grade 12: Brantly Elementary (PK–5), Obuch Middle (6–8), and Antlers High (9–12), with 966 students altogether. In 2025–2026, the schools’ equal-weight average was 49% proficient in science, 19 points above the state result; in mathematics, it was 22%, 3 points below the state. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that science is the strongest shared subject, while mathematics—especially at the high school—deserves attention.

Brantly led reported all-grades ELA at 34%, 8 points above the state, and mathematics at 29%, 4 points above. Obuch led science with 60%, 30 points above the state, and its grade 8 mathematics result was 42% versus 17% statewide. At the lower end, Obuch’s all-grades ELA was 21%, 5 points below the state, while Antlers High had the lowest mathematics result, 11% compared with 25% statewide. The high school also stood out positively for graduation: 94% in 2024–2025 versus 78% statewide.

Recent test trends differ by school: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Brantly gained 12 points in science, while Obuch gained 16 points in science even as its ELA and mathematics results fell. Antlers High declined in all three subjects; its ELA fell 17 points and mathematics fell 15. SchoolDigger ranked the schools at the 65th percentile for Brantly, 66th for Obuch, and 70th for the high school in 2025–2026; these are rankings, not proficiency rates. For context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 15.7 at Brantly, 11.5 at Obuch, and 12.9 at the high school. All reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 77% at Brantly, 74% at Obuch, and 66% at the high school. These measures offer context but do not explain the different results; the schools also serve different grade spans, so their all-grades scores are not perfectly like-for-like comparisons.
