- Oklahoma Student Performance Is Declining. Charter Schools Are an Exception
Oklahoma's student performance has declined, dropping to 48th in NAEP rankings, but charter schools, particularly brick-and-mortar ones serving Black and Hispanic students, have shown stronger performance. Data from 2024-25 shows 31 of 49 brick-and-mortar charter schools outperformed traditional schools, with notable examples like Deborah Brown Elementary School outscoring peers by 59 points. Virtual charters, however, largely underperformed except Oklahoma Connection Academy High School.
