Hominy High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the best statewide ranking (381 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools) and the lowest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 64.29%. However, the school still struggles with low proficiency rates across subject areas. In contrast, Hominy Middle School has the lowest statewide ranking, declining from 261 out of 297 in 2014-2015 to 405 out of 407 in 2020-2021.
Across the district, the schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation ranging from 44.07% to 50.77% of the student body.

Additionally, the disparities in spending per student, from $6,617 at Hominy Early Childhood Center to $12,370 at Hominy High School, suggest potential funding inequities that may impact the quality of education and resources available to students. The Hominy school district has an opportunity to collaborate with the community to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.
