Great News for Howe Public Schools!
The 2025–2026 Oklahoma School Report Cards have been released, and we are proud to share that both Howe Elementary and Howe High School continue to rank among the stronger-performing schools in Le Flore County!
Howe Elementary School (PK–8) received an overall B, making it one of only three elementary schools in the county to earn a B and the only school serving grades PK–8 to receive that rating!
Howe High School (9–12) received an overall C, placing it among just five high schools in Le Flore County to earn a B or C.
To put these accomplishments into perspective, of the 38 public schools in Le Flore County, only five received a B, and none received an A.
Another point of pride for our district is our commitment to ensuring that every student is represented in our state assessment results. Howe Elementary achieved 100% testing participation, while Howe High School maintained a 99% participation rate. We believe every student matters, and our consistently high participation rates reflect our commitment to accountability and using meaningful data to guide student success.
Both Howe schools maintained their overall letter grades from the previous year. We are also pleased to see improvements in student attendance at both schools and continued strong graduation outcomes at Howe High School.
While state report cards are only one measure of school success, these results give us reasons to be proud while reminding us that there is always room to grow. We believe in celebrating our accomplishments while continuing to strive for excellence in everything we do.
We appreciate our dedicated teachers and staff, hardworking students, supportive families, and community members who make Howe Public Schools such a special place to learn and grow.
Proud of our students. Proud of our staff. Proud of our community. Proud to be Howe!
