Crutcho

Crutcho has one school, Crutcho Public School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade, with 365 students. With no other local schools to compare, it is both the area’s highest- and lowest-scoring school by default. The most important finding for families is that its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency rates were below Oklahoma’s in every reported subject: 14% in English language arts (ELA) versus 26% statewide, 12% in math versus 25%, and 16% in science versus 30%.

Within Crutcho Public School, seventh grade stands out as the closest to state results in both ELA and math: 21% versus 23% in ELA, a 2-point gap, and 21% versus 26% in math, a 5-point gap. Sixth-grade math is the sharpest grade-level concern, at 3% versus 26% statewide, a 23-point gap; the supplied fifth-grade science result was 12% versus 35%, also a 23-point gap. Every supplied grade-level result was below its state comparison. Across grades 3–7, school results ranged from 7% to 21% in ELA and from 3% to 21% in math.

Results weakened overall between the two reported years, with science showing the clearest decline relative to the state: it fell from 22% in 2024–2025 to 16% in 2025–2026 while the state remained at 30%. ELA dropped from 16% to 14%, and math from 14% to 12%. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from the 2nd percentile in 2020–2021 to the 19th in 2024–2025, then fell to the 9th in 2025–2026. As context, 97.5% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.6 that year; chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 19%, compared with 16% statewide, a 3-point gap. Because this area has only one school, families cannot use these figures to compare local options.
