An overview of Oklahoma City public schools
The federal directory lists 153 public schools in Oklahoma City, OK: 91 elementary, 34 middle, 27 high, 1 combined or other. The 146 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 108,962 students, an average of 746 per school.

Oklahoma City operates the most schools here (56), and 11 regular districts have at least one Oklahoma City campus, plus 14 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 16.6:1, higher than the statewide school median of 15.4:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 33 charter schools, 4 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 23 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 21 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 17 of 23 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 76% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
