This is a list of the 509 public school districts in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Of those, 415 are independent school districts that offer first grade through 12th grade classes. There are 94 elementary school districts which serve students at lower grade levels; most offer first grade through eighth grade classes, while a few only offer classes through the sixth grade. There were 697,358 students as of October 2024, 17% of the population.
Elementary school districts were previously called "dependent school districts". Elementary school districts and independent school districts both can have bonds issued and raise taxes. The U.S. Census Bureau counts all Oklahoma school districts as separate governments. There are no Oklahoma public school systems dependent on another layer of government.
Oklahoma school districts collectively employ more than 85,000 staff statewide, including teachers, administrators, and support personnel. Typical roles within a district include classroom teachers, principals, counselors, paraprofessionals, custodians, and transportation staff. As of 2025, the average annual salary for a public school teacher in Oklahoma was $55,541, principals averaged $96,200, counselors earned about $59,300, and education support professionals (including custodians and janitors) earned an average of $27,656, the lowest such average in the United States.
