  Rating 4.75 out of 5  20 reviews

Parent: I can't say enough positive about this district. We have kids in the elementary, middle, and high schools currently. The leadership is caring, insightful, and invested. Teachers want to be there. Parents want to be there. Kids have an incredible experience. This creates a very positive community and network of relationships. Also, being a medium sized district (4A for activities/sports) gives kids access to everything a larger school can offer, while at the same time not forcing kids to specialize at an early age.

It is a safe environment and friends can be made everywhere. The mixed cultures and races help me as an individual to learn not only more about myself but about others and I could not ask for anything less.

He has special needs, Stillwater Public School has provided more services than we could have hoped for. He has flourished under the school systems guidance. Our youngest will begin 7th grade in August. SMS has provided him the opportunity to figure out what he likes and doesn’t like in a safe educational environment.

Senior: Freedom is a very small school and its not just your typical small school. Most people will say they live in a small town and go to a small school but their graduating class is 100 plus kids. My graduation class of 5 is the definition of small. I have been going to Freedom Public Schools since I was 7 years old. my class and I have been together for a long time. I know every single person in my school by their first name and most of their parents too. I think that freedom being so small helped me a lot. If you start falling behind in something it is so much easier to get the one on one time you need to help you through what ever your problem is.... Read 1 review

  Rating 4.43 out of 5  7 reviews

Freshman: The best part about going to Paden Public Schools is the education I am receiving. It is a very small school, which means I can better connect with my educators, which in return I can be more curious about my studies and ask more questions without the worry of not being seen because of how large my class is. There is not really a bad part about attending Paden Public Schools, but if I were to say something, I would say the bad part is how small the school is. Going to a small school means that there is not a lot to do. We do not have as many programs, extra curriculars, or sports as some of the bigger schools do. If I could see anything change, it would be to have more extra curriculars. It would be nice to have a Spanish or French class. All in all, I love going to my school.... Read 7 reviews

Senior: I really enjoyed going to Cushing High School. It was an amazing experience. I wish that I was able to take more classes, but I did not have enough time. I feel really prepared for College, and my teachers are some of the best that I could have ever had. I would suggest going to Cushing high school if you are able to. The food could have been better, but we are an open campus facility, so you could always eat somewhere else.... Read 11 reviews

Sophomore: I love going to byng and I think all of the teachers are great and have a purpose to educate us and make us happy. I would like to see us get a volleyball team though. It could benefit us as a school because it gives us more opportunities for scholarships and it gives other people a chance to play a sport they like. Other than that I have no complaints!...
