Understanding the 9/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Bixby Public Schools 9 out of 10 — top-tier among Oklahoma public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Oklahoma is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
