Summary:
ZIP code 74563 has two Red Oak Elementary School (pre-K–8) and Red Oak High School (grades 9–12), serving 264 students combined. The elementary school enrolls 173 students and the high school 91. The clearest takeaway for families is that each school has subject-specific strengths and weaknesses, rather than one school leading across the board.
The elementary school stands out in science: 40% were proficient in 2025–2026, 10 percentage points above the state’s 30%; however, it was 15 points below the state in ELA and 13 points below in math. The high school stands out in U.S. History, with 47% proficient, 6 points above the state’s 41%, and its all-grades ELA result matched the state at 26%. Its weaker all-grades results were math, 14 points below the state, and science, 9 points below. For 11th grade, the high school was 6 points above the state in U.S. History, equal in science, and below in ELA and math. The lowest state-relative results are elementary ELA and high-school math, but the schools’ all-grades results cover different grades and should not be treated as a direct ranking.
Recent trends also differ: elementary science rose 9 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA fell 3 points and math fell 12; high-school proficiency rose in all four tested subjects, by 1 to 7 points. SchoolDigger’s high-school percentile rank moved from 51 to 30 to 54 over those years, while the elementary school’s listed ranks were 16, 51 and 19 in earlier years, so neither history shows a steady trend. The high school also reports a 98% graduation rate in 2024–2025, compared with 78% statewide, and lower chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026: 5%, versus 16% at the elementary school and statewide. The elementary and high-school student–teacher ratios are 17.3 and 9.8, respectively. Both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025: 82% at the elementary school and 87% at the high school; these are contextual figures, not explanations of test results.
