Zip code 74955 has seven schools—four elementary, one middle and two high schools—serving families in the Sallisaw, Brushy and Central communities. Test scores are available for six schools; Liberty Elementary School has no score record in the supplied data. Across three tested subjects, the six-school average fell from 28% in 2024–2025 to 23% in 2025–2026, while the state average stayed around 27%—the clearest area-wide concern.

At the other end, Central Elementary School had the lowest ELA I and Mathematics results, 9% in each, while Central High had the lowest Science result, also 9%.

Year-to-year changes show why families may want to compare subjects as well as schools: Sallisaw Middle School improved 4 points in ELA I and 5 in Mathematics, while Central High’s Science fell 36 points and Brushy Public School’s fell 21. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also shifted: Sallisaw Middle rose from the 38th to the 55th percentile from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Central High moved from the 92nd to the 62nd. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 60% at Sallisaw High to 80% at Brushy; these figures do not explain score differences.
