Summary
Wister High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 155 students in Wister, Oklahoma. The most important concern is its recent graduation result: 73% of students graduated in 2024–2025, below the state rate of 78% and the nearby-school average of 88%; only one nearby school had a lower rate.
Academically, the school’s clearest strength is ELA I, where 31% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 26% statewide, 13% in the Wister district, and 24% at nearby schools. It ranked second among the 10 nearby schools in that subject. Mathematics is the sharpest weakness: just 3% were proficient, versus 25% statewide, 9% in the district, and a nearby-school average of 7%. Science and U.S. History were closer to the local middle: 18% and 36%, respectively, each a little above the nearby-school average but below the state result.
Results have recently weakened: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, scores fell in all four subjects, including science from 36% to 18%; the SchoolDigger statewide ranking also dropped from the 62nd to the 35th percentile. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked the school 301st of 462 and gave it 2 stars. The graduation rate fell from 91% in 2022–2023 to 73% in 2024–2025. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 14.3, and 47% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 76%. SchoolDigger’s 2023–2024 subgroup rankings differed notably: the school ranked at the 85th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, compared with the 59th percentile overall, but at the 27th percentile for Native American Students. With 155 students, year-to-year results may be more variable.
