Cherokee

The Cherokee school district in Oklahoma is home to three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. These schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with the Cherokee High School and Cherokee Elementary School standing out as particularly impressive.

The Cherokee High School has consistently ranked in the top quartile of Oklahoma high schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 30th out of 463 high schools in the state. Its 82.2% four-year graduation rate is also noteworthy. Similarly, the Cherokee Elementary School has demonstrated strong performance, ranking 43rd out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating. The elementary school's test scores, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, are significantly above the state averages.

While the schools in Cherokee generally outperform the state averages on standardized tests, they also face some challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may raise questions about equity and the ability of the schools to provide equal opportunities for all students. Overall, the Cherokee schools appear to be performing well, with standout performance at the high school and elementary school levels, but there are also areas for potential improvement.
