Cleora Public School

Cleora Public School serves 162 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Afton, Oklahoma. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, students get consistent, close attention from staff — a structural advantage that shows up directly in outcomes. The school earns a composite score of 9.7/10, rated Exceptional, with a perfect 10.0/10 for academics and a 9.6/10 for growth.

Those numbers place Cleora at #1 of 915 elementary schools in Oklahoma and #2 of 1,747 public schools statewide — outperforming 100% of Oklahoma schools across the board. This is not a school that excels in one area while lagging in another. Strong academic proficiency and strong student growth together signal that high achievement here is consistent, not a statistical outlier.

For families in Afton, the local picture is equally clear: Cleora ranks #1 of 3 schools in the area. Parents comparing options within the community can look at the data and draw a direct conclusion. For parents considering a move or a longer commute, the statewide ranking provides the broader context — very few public schools in Oklahoma, at any level, match what Cleora delivers for its students.

With an enrollment of 162 students, Cleora Public School 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.

Located in a rural area, Cleora Public School 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.
