Sequoyah

The area’s three schools serve PK–12: Sequoyah Elementary School serves PK–5, Sequoyah Middle School serves grades 6–8, and Sequoyah High School serves grades 9–12. In 2025–26, their simple average across All Grades results was 38% in Science, 30% in English Language Arts I and 26% in Mathematics; the state results were 30%, 26% and 25%, respectively. Because the schools serve different grade spans, these averages are snapshots, not like-for-like comparisons. The clearest area-wide strength is Science, though that advantage is not shared equally by all three schools.

No one school leads in every subject. Sequoyah Elementary has the highest All Grades Mathematics result, 37%, and is above the state in Mathematics in grades 3, 4 and 5 by 10, 7 and 3 points. Sequoyah Middle has the highest Science result, 45%, one point above Elementary; it is also 10 points above the state in grade 8 English Language Arts I. Sequoyah High leads English Language Arts I at 36% and reports 61% in U.S. History, 20 points above the state. But High has the lowest Mathematics and Science results, 18% and 26%, and is below the state in both. Its 2024–25 graduation rate is a notable counterpoint: 99%, compared with 78% statewide.

Recent changes are mixed rather than uniformly positive: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the average All Grades English Language Arts I result fell 6 points, while Mathematics rose 3 points and Science rose 2. At High, English Language Arts I fell 11 points, while Mathematics rose 8; Science increased one point. SchoolDigger ranks High highest among the three at 98 of 462 schools, in the 79th percentile with 4 stars; Elementary is 220 of 626, in the 65th percentile with 3 stars, and Middle is 129 of 378, in the 66th percentile with 3 stars. As context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 49% at Elementary, 44% at Middle and 38% at High; student–teacher ratios were 17.1, 13.6 and 12.9, respectively. These figures describe school context, not what explains differences in results.
