Contents

The district boundary is mostly in Osage County and includes Fairfax, a portion of Burbank, [1] and Gray Horse. [2] It is also partially in Pawnee County, where it includes Ralston. [3]

As of 2022 the high school has Osage language as a class for world languages. [4]

History

It was established in 1990 when the Fairfax and Ralston school districts merged. [5]

In 2002 the Burbank school district dissolved, with a portion going to Woodland. [6]

Beginning in the 2013–2014 school year, the district stopped sending certain data to the Oklahoma Department of Education and the United States Department of Education (ED). [7] Circa 2021 the ED asked about 17,000 school districts to respond to a request, and Woodland was the sole district not to comply. [8]
