Summary:
Oologah-Talala has one high school, Oologah-Talala High School, serving grades 9–12 and 525 students. There are no other local high schools in this group to compare it with, so the most useful picture is how its results compare with Oklahoma’s and how they have changed. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency was higher than the state’s in all four subjects, with an average of 46% compared with the state average of 31%—a 16-point advantage. The most important finding is that results improved across all four subjects, moving the school from around the state average overall to clearly above it.
Because it is the only school, Oologah-Talala High School is both the top and bottom school in the local group; there is no school-to-school spread to report. Within its latest results, English Language Arts I was strongest relative to the state: 50% proficient, 24 points above Oklahoma. Science was 48%, 18 points above the state, and U.S. History was 58%, 17 points above. Mathematics was the narrowest advantage: 28%, just 3 points above the state. These comparisons make ELA I and Science the clearest relative strengths, while Mathematics is the subject to watch.
The gains were broad, with proficiency rising 13 points in ELA I, 9 in Mathematics, 27 in Science, and 15 in U.S. History from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Science had the sharpest turnaround, shifting from 9 points below the state to 18 points above; Mathematics also moved from 7 points below to 3 points above. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from 167th of 463 schools, in the 64th percentile with 3 stars, in 2024–2025 to 26th of 462, in the 94th percentile with 5 stars, in 2025–2026. Other reported measures are favorable too: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 88%, versus 78% statewide, and 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 9%, versus 16% statewide. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 16.9 in 2024–2025, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are contextual figures, not explanations for the results.
