Summary:
Justus-Tiawah Public School is the only listed school in Justus-Tiawah, serving students in prekindergarten through grade 8, with 460 students. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed picture: proficiency was higher than Oklahoma’s in science and English language arts (ELA), but matched the state in mathematics. The clearest concern for parents is math: the school fell from 38% proficient in 2024–2025 to 25% in 2025–2026, giving up its former 12-point lead over the state.
There is no peer-school leader or trailing school to compare in this area; the one school is both. Its strongest subject relative to Oklahoma is science, with 46% proficient compared with 30% statewide, a 16-point advantage. ELA was also ahead, at 32% versus 26%, while math matched the state at 25%. Grade results reveal important differences within subjects: in math, the school was 13 points below the state in grade 5, but 9 points above in grade 7 and 10 points above in grade 8. In ELA, it matched the state in grade 3 and led by 19 points in grade 8. Science was above the state in both reported grades, by 5 points in grade 5 and 22 points in grade 8.
Recent trends reinforce the need to look beyond the overall figures: ELA rose 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science slipped 2 points and math fell 13. SchoolDigger lists the school at rank 290 of 626, the 54th percentile, and three stars for 2025–2026; its percentile was 55 in 2024–2025 and 44 in 2023–2024. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2024–2025 and 36% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 5%, compared with 16% statewide, or 11 points lower.
