Summary

Walters High School is a public high school in Walters, Oklahoma, serving 194 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Walters School District, which is ranked 288 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Walters High School has had fluctuating academic performance on state assessments, with its ranking ranging from 61st to 345th out of Oklahoma high schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were below the state averages in English Language Arts (29% vs. 37%), Mathematics (6% vs. 18%), and Science (10% vs. 21%) for 11th-grade students. However, the school has maintained a relatively strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 78.6% to 100% in recent years, which is comparable to nearby schools like Lawton High School and Comanche High School.

One area of concern for Walters High School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.7% to 19% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.67% to 51.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. While these factors may contribute to the school's academic challenges, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, and addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support could be crucial for improving overall outcomes.
