Summary:
The Oologah-Talala school district in Oklahoma serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a mix of students, with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools.
The standout school in the district is Oologah-Talala High School, which is ranked 167 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has a 82.2% four-year graduation rate and performs slightly above the state average in English Language Arts and U.S. History, but below average in Mathematics and Science. In contrast, the Oologah-Talala Lower Elementary School has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 53.65% and was previously ranked highly, but the Oologah-Talala Upper Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and test scores in recent years.
A concerning trend across the district is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the Oologah-Talala Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 72nd out of 149 Oklahoma middle schools in 2022-2023 to 187th out of 369 in 2024-2025, accompanied by lower test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average.
