Summary

MacArthur High School is a public high school in Lawton, Oklahoma, serving 1,214 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lawton School District, which is ranked 349 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, MacArthur High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 79th out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 317th out of 463 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, from a high of 4 stars in 2014-2015 and 2009-2010 to a low of 1 star in 2016-2017. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its homeless student population ranking 1st out of 23 Oklahoma high schools in 2023-2024, but struggling with its Native American and special education student populations, ranking 146th out of 187 and 73rd out of 102, respectively, in recent years.

Compared to other high schools in the Lawton district and the surrounding area, such as Eisenhower High School and Lawton High School, MacArthur High School generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and focus on improving overall academic achievement and consistency.
