Summary:
ZIP code 74023 has one listed high school, Cushing High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 521 students. Because it is the area’s only listed school, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the clearest result is that its 2025–2026 average across four subjects was 5 percentage points above the state average.
Cushing is both the area’s top and bottom performer by default, but its subject results vary considerably. In 2025–2026, English Language Arts I was its strongest subject at 47%, 21 points above the state, while Mathematics was lowest at 26%, just 1 point above the state. Science was 28%, 2 points below the state, and U.S. History was 41%, matching the state. Its four-subject average was 36%, compared with 31% statewide, though the strong ELA result stands out among otherwise closer subject scores.
Results improved from 2024–2025: Cushing’s four-subject average rose by 7 points, from 29% to 36%, moving from 2 points below the state average to 5 points above it. SchoolDigger gave the school 4 stars and ranked it 89th of 462 Oklahoma schools in 2025–2026, up 101 places from 190th the previous year; it ranked 100th in 2023–2024. Other indicators offer a different picture: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 75%, 3 points below the state, while chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 16.2%, close to the state’s 15.9% but 3 points above the Cushing district. For context, 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 13.9. These figures provide context, not explanations for the results; with only one school listed and test results available for two years, broader local comparisons and longer-term trends are not available.
