Wilburton

The schools in Wilburton, Oklahoma serve students from elementary through high school, with three schools in the district: Wilburton Elementary School, Wilburton High School, and Wilburton Middle School. While the schools face challenges with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals some standout performance, particularly at the middle school level.

Wilburton Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 76th out of 171 Oklahoma middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 8th-grade students outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts and Science tests. Wilburton High School also performs relatively well, ranking in the top half of Oklahoma high schools and exceeding the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts and U.S. History tests.

The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly White and Native American, with Wilburton Elementary School having the highest percentage of Native American students at 39.71%. Spending per student varies significantly, with Wilburton High School spending nearly double per student compared to the elementary and middle schools. However, all three schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor for student learning and engagement.
