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.

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.

I think I've had a mostly post it I've experience at Putnam city high school. There are a lot of clubs and lots of events to look forward to. The only negative thing is the funding from the district. The district does not provide the school with enough money so often times our restrooms don't work or different things are broken.

This is easily the worst school I have ever been to in Oklahoma. I'm a senior at this school - or rather, I WAS. I was removed from the system for too many absences and now I'm being enrolled into online homeschooling. Neither me or my mother were made aware of this change. Not only is communication...
