Summary

Idabel High School serves 428 students in grades 9–12 in Idabel, in southeastern Oklahoma. SchoolDigger placed it at the 18th percentile statewide, with 1 star, in 2025–2026. Its clearest academic strength is English Language Arts I, where 27% of students were proficient, but proficiency was 7% in mathematics and 11% in science. The most important takeaway is that math and science results remain well below state rates: by 18 and 19 percentage points, respectively.

English Language Arts I is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, district and nearby schools: its 27% proficiency rate was 1 point above the state, 7 above the Idabel district, and 2 above the nearby-school average. Mathematics is a relative bright spot among nearby schools—Idabel’s 7% was 3 points above their average—but still trails the state’s 25% and district’s 18%. Science was close to the nearby-school average but below the state and district. U.S. History is a weaker comparison: 27% proficiency matched the district but was 14 points below the state and 4 below the nearby-school average. Graduation was 79%, above the state’s 78% and equal to the district, yet below every nearby school. Chronic absenteeism improved, but at 15% it remained higher than at each nearby school.

Results improved in all four tested subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA I rose 2 points, math and science each rose 1, and U.S. History rose 5. The statewide gap narrowed in every subject, though math, science and history still lagged. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 11 to 18 over that period, after reaching 29 in 2023–2024. Its student-teacher ratio was 18.7, the highest among nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among the six schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings showed a notably high result for Special Education Students: 95th percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 29th percentile. The ranking for Hispanic Students fell from the 56th percentile to the 35th from 2022–2023 to 2023–2024.
