Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) is a multi-cultural district serving approximately 33,000 students. Our students are educated throughout 31 elementary schools, 14 middle schools, 8 high schools, 4 alternative schools and 7 charter schools located within 135.5 square miles in the center of Oklahoma.
Subscription schools were the first schools in Oklahoma Territory, but public schools began to emerge in the 1890s, shortly before 1907 statehood. By 1909, Oklahoma City had ten public school buildings.[2] By 1930 the city had three high schools, six junior high schools, and 51 elementary schools with an enrollment of 38,593.[2]

Former schools
Shidler Elementary School - The district intended to close that school in 2026 and move all students to Adelaide Lee Elementary School, which was to have a new building at that time. However in 2023 an issue with the building's structure caused the district to move many of the students to Adelaide Lee Elementary. In 2023 the district's board of education voted to immediately close the entire Shidler Elementary permanently and move all students to Adelaide Lee Elementary; the district decided that using only part of the Shidler Elementary facility would cause problems. That year the district was considering whether to repair the Shidler building and use it for another purpose.[4]
