Summary:

The 26 schools in Putnam City include 18 elementary, five middle and three high schools, serving students from prekindergarten through high school. Across the 17 elementary schools with scores, averages were 20% in ELA, 23% in math and 34% in science, compared with state figures of 26%, 25% and 30%. Results also varied widely from school to school: elementary scores spanned 35 percentage points in ELA, 33 in math and 38 in science. The most important finding for families is that area-wide averages conceal large differences between individual schools.

Dennis Elementary School led or tied for the elementary lead in all three subjects, with 41% in ELA, 42% in math and 60% in science—15, 17 and 30 points above state figures, respectively. Harvest Hills Elementary School also tied for the ELA lead at 41%, while Northridge Elementary School scored above state figures in all three subjects. At the lower end, Hilldale Elementary School had the lowest elementary ELA score, 6%, while Western Oaks Elementary School had the lowest math score, 9%. Among middle schools, Cooper Middle School led in science at 34%, 4 points above the state. Putnam City North High School led high schools in ELA at 33% and graduation at 83%; however, all three high schools scored below state figures in math and science.

Elementary science improved the most recently: the average rose by 11 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while average ELA and math scores changed little. Overholser Elementary School gained 26 points in science, and Coronado Heights Elementary School gained 24; middle- and high-school results were weaker overall. SchoolDigger ranked Dennis at the 86th percentile and Harvest at the 74th in 2025–2026, while Overholser rose from the 15th to the 37th percentile.

High-school chronic absenteeism was also elevated, ranging from 44% to 52%, compared with 16% statewide in sy 2025–2026.
