In contrast, Fort Towson High School, which was once ranked 133 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, has seen a significant decline, falling to 363 out of 431 in 2023-2024 and 439 out of 463 in 2024-2025.

Across the schools in the 74735 zip code, academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 3% to 33% in different subjects and grade levels. Additionally, all three schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. This factor, along with the high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%, may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools.
