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.

We need a better music program. This unfortunately cannot happen without money and that department does not have any.

I have gone to Durant schools my whole life. They have always supported me and given me the best opportunities. They make sure everyone has a safe learning environment. This is a really amazing school district!

Durant does a lot well but suffers from the same areas as many other Oklahoma schools. Academics are pretty good and there are a wide variety of extracurriculars. Athletics are not great, and the coaches all teach classes half heartedly.
