Summary:
The Tyrone school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Tyrone Elementary School and Tyrone High School. While the high school has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, reaching a 4-star rating, the elementary school continues to face challenges, with academic proficiency lagging behind state averages.
Tyrone High School has made significant progress, moving from the 286th position out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 to the 140th position out of 463 in 2024-2025. The school's strong performance in science and U.S. history, with 43% and 58% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the statewide averages of 21% and 42%, is particularly noteworthy.
In contrast, Tyrone Elementary School has historically struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools. However, the school has shown signs of improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating over the past decade. Despite this progress, the elementary school continues to lag behind state averages in both English Language Arts (11% proficient vs. 26%) and Mathematics (22% proficient vs. 26%). The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools, 78.29% at the elementary school and 74.68% at the high school, suggest that the Tyrone community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the academic struggles observed in the data.
