Schools in ZIP code 74462 are three Stigler public schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Stigler Elementary School (PK–4), Stigler Middle School (grades 5–8) and Stigler High School (grades 9–12), with 1,150 students combined. In 2025–26, the schools’ average results were below the state in ELA (24% versus 26%), mathematics (19% versus 25%) and science (20% versus 30%); the only reported U.S. History result, High’s 25%, was below the state’s 41%. The most important takeaway is that results vary considerably by school and subject, rather than showing consistent strength across the area.

Stigler Elementary School stands out in all-grades mathematics, with 34% proficient—9 points above the state and 23 points above the other two schools’ average. Stigler High School leads in ELA at 32%, 6 points above the state and 12 points above the other schools’ average, but has the lowest mathematics result at 6%. Stigler Middle School leads the two schools with reported science results: its 30% matches the state, while High’s 10% is 20 points lower. SchoolDigger ranks Middle highest among the three at the 52nd percentile (3 stars), followed by Elementary at the 40th percentile (2 stars) and High at the 21st percentile (1 star).

High’s all-grades results declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell 13 points, from 45% to 32%, while the state stayed at 26%; mathematics fell 3 points and science and U.S. History each fell 5. Across all three schools, the ELA average also fell, from 29% to 24%, while the state remained at 26%; mathematics moved from 20% to 19%, with the average still 6 points below the state. Other differences may help families compare schools: student–teacher ratios were 17 at Elementary, 16 at High and 13.2 at Middle. In 2024–25, all reported free/reduced lunch eligible: 74% at Elementary, 66% at High and 76% at Middle. These figures provide context, not an explanation for school results. Science comparisons include only Middle and High because Elementary has no all-grades result reported.
