Summary

Elgin High School serves 789 students in grades 9–12 in Elgin, Oklahoma. Its results vary by subject: English Language Arts I is a standout, while science is a concern. The most important takeaway is that Elgin is much stronger in ELA than in science compared with its district and the state.

ELA is Elgin’s clearest strength: 47% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 31% in the Elgin district and 26% statewide; that was second among Elgin and 10 nearby schools, behind Fletcher High School at 52%. Elgin also led the nearby group in math at 23%, but remained below the state’s 25% and district’s 32%. Science was weaker against the state and district—21% proficient, versus 30% and 37%—though it was above the nearby-school average of 18%. U.S. History was 40%, matching the district and close to the state’s 41%.

Recent results show math improving by 5 percentage points and U.S. History by 1, while ELA slipped 1 point and science was unchanged. SchoolDigger ranks Elgin 118th of 462 Oklahoma high schools, at the 74th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile rose from 67 last year but remains below 85 in 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.9, among the highest nearby, while 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest nearby share for that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education students fell from the 91st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 60th in 2025–2026, while the school’s overall ranking rose from the 67th to the 74th percentile. For Native American students, the ranking was 47th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 85th overall—a notable difference in the school’s ranking for how well it serves that group.
