Summary

Zion Public School is a PK–8 school serving 263 students in Stilwell, Oklahoma. In 2025–2026, it had a SchoolDigger rating of 51st percentile and 3 stars, compared with its district’s 25th percentile and 1 star. The most important finding for families is that Zion’s proficiency was below Oklahoma’s in all three tested subjects: ELA was 16% versus 26% statewide, math was 21% versus 25%, and science was 17% versus 30%.

Math is Zion’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools: its 21% proficiency was higher than every nearby school reporting math, where results ranged from 0% to 17%, although it remained below the state and matched the Zion district. ELA proficiency of 16% was above or equal to all nearby schools except Maryetta Public School, also at 16%; Zion and its district had the same result. Science was a relative weakness: Zion’s 17% was below the nearby average of 22% and the statewide rate, while matching its district. Results also vary by grade: grade 4 math reached 55%, compared with 33% statewide, but grade 7 math was 6% and grade 8 math was 0%. Only five nearby schools reported science scores.

Results fell in every subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA dropped 13 points, from 29% to 16%; math dropped 7 points, from 28% to 21%; and science dropped 2 points, from 19% to 17%. Over the same period, SchoolDigger’s overall percentile declined from 68 to 51; its current rating is still higher than the nearby ratings for Maryetta (21st percentile) and Stilwell Elementary School (3rd percentile). SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Native American students fell sharply, from 55 in 2024–2025 to 3 in 2025–2026, compared with Zion’s overall percentile of 51; this is a measure of how well the school serves that group. For context, 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest comparable rate among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.5, close to the nearby average of 11.6.
