GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Choctaw has great spirit. Everyone has fun at the events, no one is left out.The facilities are ok i haven't been able to see many new things because it's my last year so i don't use them. The people are friendly and the vibe is nice. I'd like the administration to be a bit different but otherwise everything is great.
