Each spring, schools administer English language arts and math exams to third through eighth graders; fifth and eighth graders are also tested in science.
Statewide, proficiency rates for 2024 ranged from 39% to 51% in English language arts and 25% to 40% in math.
In science, 34% of fifth grade students and 35% of eighth graders tested proficient or better.
The table below shows the percentage of students who scored at least proficient in the state’s 50 largest public school districts. The data comes from the Oklahoma Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year. This year’s data is not comparable to previous years due to a change in grade-level expectations for proficiency.
