#1 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Alum: First I would like to say I went to Jenks Public Schools my entire life. I was always a good student and did fine all the way through high school. If you just put the work in you will do well. In my opinion though, Jenks is a math focused school so just don't be surprised. Most teachers in the high school worked in the field they taught before which brought real life experience into the classroom. I would recommend over any school districts in Tulsa, especially after seeing my family go through different schools.

Owasso Public Schools

Owasso, OK

#2 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Alum: I attended Owasso schools from 6th grade to graduation, and thoroughly annoyed the school. The staff and teachers truly care about the students, not just their grades and attendance, but also their wellbeing, their home life, and their future. Most of the teachers I had wanted to make a difference in our lives, teach us how to succeed not just in the class, but how to become well rounded, mature adults who can contribute to society. The only downside was that arts and music sometimes got pushed to the back burner. As a 6A championship school in most sports, they heavily focused their efforts and money on the sports programs. The arts got a fair amount of funding most of the time, but when it came to replacing art supplies, purchasing new equipment for theater classes, or buying new computers for the yearbook department, they were a little more hesitant. Other than that, Owasso is a great school! Very good academically, lots of choices and diversity in clubs and sports.

#4 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Junior: I love the variety of classes and sports that are offered at my school. We have College classes and Tech classes on campus as well. I have made so many great friends during my years at Union. Union supports band, sports, academics and technical trade learning all with great enthusiasm. I feel as though my teachers have always been supportive and encouraging of my choices. When I graduate I will have completed their medical science program. I think this is great program to help student decide if they are truly interested in the medics field. Union is a very diverse school and I love experiencing different cultural celebrations and walks of life. My younger siblings attend Union as well. I’m excited for all of the opportunities Union will offer them. I am proud to be a Union Redskins student, Class of 2021!

#5 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Senior: Every school is different, but with my personal experience, I love the atmosphere of the schools and the school pride. The academics and opportunities were good and I had some really amazing teachers. And I love how schools would come together for a good cause. I also really appreciated how whenever there was a problem with bullying or discrimination my school was always on top of it. However, I am completely aware that this was not the case for other schools in the district. My biggest issues with my school were the lack of diversity, the lack of funding (although not the school system's fault), and the ways funds we did have we're divided. And although these issues sound problematic, I overall had a really amazing experience, opportunities that prepared me, teachers who inspired me, clubs and extracurriculars that shaped my experience for the better, and I met some really amazing people!

#6 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Senior: I had the opportunity to earn recognition for art during my elementary school years, and was involved in soccer and marching band while in high school. The teachers truly care about our success. My district partners with my local technology center so that while in high school, I was able to attend a drafting program for my junior & senior years to gain a technical skill set that will jumpstart my career, making me employable for much more than minimum wage while I work on my college degree. MPS was a great place to attend school! Go, Jaguars!

#7 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Junior: The atmosphere at my school is small and homey. The teachers are all for the students and will help with anything and everything. Only thing that made me knock it to four stars is the college prep. We don’t do many college prep work or hear about it, and if we do, it’s not taken seriously. Our counselors know little about college readiness too, and it’s really up to the students themselves to get ready for college.

#8 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Alum: I started going to Millwood in 2015. I was in the fifth grade and since then i’ve loved this school. The teachers here are really helpful and caring. They will help you do whatever you need to do to graduate as long as you put forth the effort. They love to see everyone achieve their goals, especially with being a majority african american school. Here at Millwood, sports is a big deal. When you’re involved it keeps you motivated to pass your classes because you know you can’t miss practice or games. Some of Millwood teachers are coaches so they know what you need to be doing to pass so you can play. Sports was not the only way to be involved though, we also had clubs. Some including year book and gear up program with The University of Central Oklahoma.

#9 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Senior: I've been a tps student since early childhood. I was fortunate to attend Carver middle school right out of elementary school. Carver is a diverse middle school with many great teachers. The cultural history there is very strong. The education curriculum was fairly difficult, but it did prepare me very well for the school that it fed into, Booker T. Washington high school. Having attended Booker T. washington high school for three years, now I see why the school has been awarded an honor such as the national blue ribbon. The academic, athletic, and historical culture at Booker T still stands very strong to this day. TPS has provided very beneficial programs for students such as the IB diploma program. I myself took several IB classes my junior year of highschool, and was able to learn important college preparatory skills such as time management, study habits, and social skills. Tulsa public schools education system has more than prepared me for my upcoming studies at college.

#10 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Senior: Have went to Broken Arrow Public School since Kindergarten. In High School, anytime I ask questions concerning anything from grades and college and counseling and anything else that questions come up, I can get answers. Have not had any issues. High school is great! I like the classes they offer, example I'm interested in Computer Science. They actually have a AP Computer science class, I'm able to take.

#11 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Senior: Moving from big-city Parker, Colorado to small-town Weatherford, Oklahoma at the start of junior year, many would think that adaptations and adjustments would be difficult. Of course, making new friends was hard because everyone grew up together. However, teachers and students of Weatherford High School welcomed me with open arms. Not only did I feel apart of the Weatherford High School family but this school environment is very focused on getting an education as well as encouraging students into getting involved in extracurricular activities. Overall, I am glad to say that Weatherford High School is a great school.

Senior: My overall experience at Woodward High School was very good. It was very good because I have many great friends and very supportive teachers to help me make it through my four years of high school. I also had great coaches that pushed me to be the very best that I could be, which helped me become who I am now and who I will become. The faculty at Woodward High School is one of the best. Everyone, including the janitors and servers, cares about every student and wants the best for them. I could not have asked for a better high school to attend.

#17 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Alum: The Norman Public School District is very accepting and welcoming to all students, teachers and parents. Norman schools focus on giving the students the best possible education, using the resources available to students and teachers. In my experience, the teachers in this district are dedicated to engaging the students in and out of the classroom in order to help the student become successful in whatever way that may be. One thing I would like to see change is the appreciation the teachers receive, pay wise. I believe teachers should be paid enough money to not only support themselves/family, but also be able to support the classroom whether that be in supplies, snacks or extra tools to help students, teachers, and parents in the classroom.

Senior: I moved into the Jones school district and immediately felt at home in the school and community. The teachers and coaches care about the students above anything else. The school and the people there are like my second family. There is so much support at every sporting event. Jones has faced some rough times and no matter what the town has always come together. Jones will always be my home and the school is the heart of that. There is not much I can think of to change about Jones. No matter what I know I can come back and always have a place to feel at home.

#19 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Sophomore: I'm given many opportunities to be heavily involved in my school. Lots of my teachers emphasize student involvement, and give opportunities for student-led activities. I have greatly enjoyed being involved in the student culture and traditions. Between pep rallies, talent shows, homecoming, sports events, and just the positive, accepting atmosphere, I love my experience with LPS. Being in a military town, the student population is automatically more accepting and willing to mold new people into our groups and activities. All in all, it's an amazing experience.

#22 Best School Districts for Athletes in Oklahoma
Alum: When I was in school, I loved learning but was socially awkward. I was teased and bullied not only by children but also by a teacher and administrator, which was unfortunate because when I was in 11th grade, I couldn't take anymore and dropped out. I went and got my GED a few years later and went on to college. I had outstanding teachers for the most part but I wish that I could have found my way socially because I now pastor a small country church and it was very difficult for me to develope the social skills needed for this job after being beaten down so much of my life.

Alum: I loved Cache Public Schools! I grew up there. That’s the only school I’ve ever known. So I may be a tad bit biased. I liked how invested they are when it comes to their athletics. A true athletic family. The school could change their rules about certain topics. Most of them are not as big of a deal as they make them.

Whittle School & Studios
Private School
Washington, DC
PK, K-10
10 reviews
Middle School Student: I think Whittle is a pretty good school. It has students from all backgrounds and ethnicities. In my honest opinion people who reviewed this school and gave it a 1 out of 5 are just upset because they didn't get in! All the programs are pretty exceptional, Math specifically is not divided by age but by level. Most teachers are really supportive and give you a reasonable ammount of work. The only problem is that most students have a rocky relationship with the lunch since the kitchens were not finished in time and Whittle had to to use a catering service that most students did not favor. The other thing is the construction. It can sometimes be difficult to get around but everyday they are advancing and trying to make the school better. Something that can be a challenge though are the keycards. That need to be used to access every single floor. But as long as your child/you is repsonisble that will never happen, hopefully. Also a teacher will probably come along and buzz them in.
