Summary

Altus High School is a public high school located in Altus, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 974 students. The school is part of the Altus School District, which is ranked 138 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Altus High School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 65th out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 205th out of 463 schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating), suggesting inconsistent performance. The school has performed well for White students, ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma high schools, but has struggled with the performance of African American and Hispanic students. Altus High School's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.1% to 83.1% in recent years, is slightly below the state average. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.4% in 2024-2025 to 19.0% in the same year, which may impact student achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Altus High School generally outperforms smaller, more rural schools like Mangum High School, Duke High School, Tipton High School, and Blair High School in terms of statewide ranking and test scores. However, the nearby Navajo High School, which is also part of the Altus School District, has consistently outperformed Altus High School in recent years. Additionally, Altus High School's spending per student ($9,431 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, and the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (19.8 in 2023-2024) compared to the nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively weaker academic performance.
