Summary
Woodward High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 722 students in Woodward, Oklahoma—far more than the five nearby high schools, which enroll 33 to 144 students each. Its latest academic results are mixed: English Language Arts I is a clear strength, while Mathematics and Science are below state and district results. The most important takeaway is that the school’s performance is not uniformly strong or weak: ELA I stands out, while Math and Science need attention.

Math proficiency was 15%, 10 points below the state and 7 below the district; Science was 22%, 8 below the state and 14 below the district. U.S. History was 39%, 2 points below the state and even with the district.
