Summary:

ZIP code 73003 includes eight schools serving elementary through high school: five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The latest all-grade results, for 2025–2026, show the middle schools close together, while elementary results vary widely; science is generally the strongest subject compared with state results. The most important takeaway is that the elementary schools are far from interchangeable: proficiency ranges from low results at some schools to much higher results at another.

Russell Dougherty Elementary is the clearest standout, leading elementary schools in ELA (54%), math (66%) and science (84%). It is ahead of the next-highest elementary school by 13 percentage points in ELA, 19 in math and 22 in science. At the other end, Ida Freeman Elementary has the lowest elementary results—21% in ELA, 24% in math and 24% in science—while Sunset Elementary is next-lowest in all three. Cheyenne Middle edges Heartland Middle by 6 points in ELA, 1 in math and 2 in science. North High is well above state 11th-grade results in all four reported subjects, by 21 to 27 points, though its U.S. History result is 1 point below the district’s.

Recent gains are strongest in science: the equal-school average rose 7 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, compared with 2 points in math and essentially no change in ELA. Science improved at every elementary school, but not at both middle schools; ELA and math also declined at some schools. SchoolDigger’s rankings have risen notably at Sunset (from the 6th to the 44th percentile) and Frontier (64th to 85th). Context differs too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students ranged from 15% at Russell Dougherty to 75% at Sunset, while student–teacher ratios ranged from 12.6 at Ida Freeman to 17.8 at Russell Dougherty. These measures do not offer a simple rule for predicting results. North High’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 86%, compared with 84% for Edmond and 78% statewide.
