Owasso

The Owasso school district in Oklahoma serves students from preschool through 12th grade, with 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Pamela Hodson Elementary and Stone Canyon Elementary ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

Owasso High School is the district's lone high school, ranking 29th out of 463 high schools in Oklahoma and earning a 5-star rating. It boasts a strong 82.2% 4-year graduation rate and solid test scores, with 30-59% proficiency in core subjects. In contrast, the district's middle schools show more variation, with the 7th and 8th grade centers performing well, but the 6th grade center lagging behind.

Across the district, there is a notable gap in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, which may be linked to socioeconomic factors. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Ator Elementary and Mills Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores. Addressing these performance gaps and the district's high chronic absenteeism rates could be key priorities for the Owasso school district moving forward.
