Oklahoma released its 2026 Public School Report Cards, grading 1,750 public schools; 15 schools were ungraded because they lacked enough data, and 64% of graded schools earned an A, B or C.

Statewide, Oklahoma earned Bs for preparing students for the future and supporting English learners, Cs for academic growth, and Ds for academic achievement, chronic absenteeism and the four-year graduation rate.

Test results showed 26% of students were proficient or better in English language arts, 25% in math and 30% in science; 84.1% had good attendance, short of the state’s 85% benchmark.

The reported four-year graduation rate dropped from 82.2% for the class of 2024 to 77.6% for the class of 2025, a decline state officials attributed largely to federal rules excluding students who graduate under Oklahoma’s Core Curriculum requirements; the report cards separately count diplomas regardless of type.

Despite the low statewide marks in several areas, 24 fewer schools received a D and 10 fewer received an F than in 2025.

Oklahoma is awaiting federal approval of a change under Senate Bill 711 that would make improved attendance a bonus-point category instead of treating chronic absenteeism as a 10-point accountability indicator; if approved, it would take effect in the 2026–27 school year.

Average operating spending was $12,175.40 per student, including $6,250.55 for instruction and $5,924.85 for noninstructional expenses; the report cards also detail costs such as salaries, benefits, building upkeep, administration and transportation.
