Oklahoma City Schools

Oklahoma City Schools are widely dispersed throughout the city and the surrounding communities. Some are definitely better than others. Our children have done well in the Moore school district, but it's supposed to be one of the better districts in the area. oklahoma city school, student in school classroom

Actually, one of the reasons we chose the neighborhood we did was so that we could be in the Moore School district. We had been told by a number of people that it was one of the better places to send our kids to school.

I think overall, the OKC school district is working toward improvement in a number of areas. Paying their teachers more would sure be great, but that doesn't seem to be a priority for many districts, unfortunately. Just four hours away, in the Dallas area, some school districts have starting salaries over $43,000. That's a far cry from the minimum starting salary in Oklahoma, which is around #31,000-ish.

Again, things are improving in the OKC schools, which is great.

A project was undertaken back in 2001 to upgrade all the schools including buildings and technology, but it's a 10 year project, so it isn't completed yet. Progress has been made, however. The cost of the whole project is approximately $470 million dollars. I can't wrap my brain around that much money, but I do believe that whatever the amount, it's not too much for our children.

There are at least 23 suburban school districts in the greater Oklahoma City area. Together they comprise the network of public Oklahoma City schools.
