Fargo

The Fargo school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Fargo Elementary School and Fargo High School. While Fargo Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools, Fargo High School has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom 25% of high schools in the state.

Fargo Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two schools, with a high ranking of 96 out of 646 elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year and a 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 69%, significantly higher than the state average of 51%. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating strong overall performance.

In contrast, Fargo High School has faced challenges, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma high schools and earning only a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 school years. The high school has struggled with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 21.7% and 0% of 11th graders meeting proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year, respectively. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 80.1% is relatively high, there is still room for improvement to ensure more students are successfully completing their high school education.
