About Arnett HS
Arnett High School serves 45 students in grades 9 through 12 in Arnett, Oklahoma. Its 6.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest you'll find in the state — nearly every student gets direct, daily attention from teachers. That access shows in the results: Arnett HS earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10, placing it firmly in the Exceptional tier.
The school ranks 16th out of 1,747 public schools in Oklahoma, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Among Oklahoma high schools specifically, it places 8th out of 455. Those standings reflect both a 9.1 academic score and a perfect 10.0 growth score — meaning students here consistently gain more ground than their peers at comparable starting points.
Growth at that level isn't luck; it points to instruction that meets students where they are and moves them forward. For families weighing options in western Oklahoma, Arnett HS offers something the data rarely shows at this scale: the personalized environment of a small-enrollment school backed by performance numbers that compete with the state's very best. Its size isn't a limitation — the results suggest it's a core part of why the school works.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 45 students, Arnett HS is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 6.4:1, Arnett HS offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Arnett HS may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
