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]
The district boundary, all in Oklahoma County, includes the majority of Oklahoma City, as well as Nichols Hills, Spencer, The Village, and Valley Brook, and portions of Choctaw, Del City, Midwest City, and Nicoma Park. [3]
