Tishomingo

The Tishomingo school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Tishomingo Elementary School, Tishomingo High School, and Tishomingo Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation, and faces socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Tishomingo High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Oklahoma high schools and earning a 4-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. In contrast, Tishomingo Middle School has demonstrated academic excellence, outperforming the state average on the 2022-2023 OSTP assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 8th-grade students.

Despite the challenges faced by the district, the schools in Tishomingo have shown promising academic performance, with Tishomingo High School and Tishomingo Middle School standing out as the district's academic leaders. However, the district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address educational equity and improve outcomes for all students.
