Summary

Dewey High School is a public high school located in Dewey, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Dewey School District, which is ranked 280 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dewey High School has faced challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, with notable disparities in the achievements of different student subgroups. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 42nd out of 424 schools in 2010-2011 (5-star rating) to 324th out of 463 schools in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). Additionally, the school's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Caney Valley High School, Oklahoma Union High School, and Nowata High School, which have higher statewide rankings and better test scores.

Factors such as high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.2% to 19.0% in recent years, and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.48% to 56.52%, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues could be crucial in improving the overall quality of education at Dewey High School.
