Bishop

Bishop, Oklahoma, has one listed public school, Bishop Public School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 647 students. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 26% in English language arts (ELA), 31% in mathematics, and 42% in science. ELA matched the state’s 26%, while math was 6 points higher than the state’s 25%. The clearest overall takeaway is that science is the school’s strongest subject: its 42% result was 12 points above Oklahoma’s 30%.

Because this is the only school listed, there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison; it is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in the group. Within the school, sixth-grade math stands out: 51% were proficient, 25 points above the state’s 26%. Eighth-grade science was also strong, at 47% compared with 36% statewide. Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest concern: 12% were proficient, 10 points below the state’s 22%. Results also differ between earlier and later grades: unweighted grade averages for grades 3–5 were 20% in ELA and 28% in math, compared with 25% and 31% statewide; for grades 6–8, Bishop averaged 32% in ELA and 35% in math, versus 23% statewide in each subject.

Achievement trends over two years are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 6 points, math rose 2 points, and science fell 2 points. Bishop’s equal-weight average across the three subjects was 35% in 2024–2025 and 33% in 2025–2026; its advantage over the state narrowed from 8 points to 6. SchoolDigger rated the school 2 stars and placed it at the 43rd percentile in 2023–2024; it received 3 stars and ranked at the 60th percentile in 2024–2025 and 56th in 2025–2026. The number of ranked schools changed, so those rankings should not be read as a direct test-score trend. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–2026, compared with 16% statewide. As context, in 2024–2025 the student–teacher ratio was 19.5 and 68% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible.
