Summary:
Marlow has one high school, Marlow High School, serving grades 9–12 with 371 students. Its strongest results compared with Oklahoma are in English Language Arts I and U.S. History, while mathematics and science are weaker; the clearest takeaway is that performance varies substantially by subject.
Because there is only one school, a school-to-school top-to-bottom comparison is not available. Within the school, U.S. History is the strongest subject: 59% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 18 percentage points above the state’s 41%; ELA I was also well ahead, at 50% versus 26%, a 24-point lead. Mathematics was the weakest result at 18%, 7 points below the state and 19 below the Marlow district’s 37%; science was 25%, 5 points below the state. Graduation is a strength: the 2024–2025 rate was 96%, 18 points above the state’s 78% and equal to the district’s rate. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, 7 points below the state but 3 points above the district.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: U.S. History rose 14 points to 59%, science gained 3 points to 25%, and mathematics gained 1 point to 18%, while ELA I fell 5 points to 50%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 72nd of 462 Oklahoma high schools in 2025–2026 and gave it four stars; it ranked 126th of 463 the prior year and 31st of 432 in 2023–2024.
