Hominy, OK - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Hominy

Hominy is a small, rural school district in Osage County, Oklahoma, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district operates four schools: an early childhood center, an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school. The enrollment is small, and the student body is diverse, with a large share of students identifying as American Indian or Alaska Native, a roughly equal share identifying as white, and a substantial number identifying as two or more races. Smaller shares of students identify as Hispanic, Black, or Asian. The district is the sole public school system for the town of Hominy and the surrounding area.

The most direct evidence of academic performance comes from the Oklahoma State Testing Program results for the 2024-25 school year. Across every tested grade in math, the share of students scoring proficient or above was low. In third grade, the figure was in the single digits, and it remained in the single digits or low teens through eighth grade, with the highest math proficiency rate occurring in seventh grade. English language arts results were also low across all tested grades, with the highest rate occurring in eighth grade. Science results, tested in fifth and eighth grades, were similarly low. The district's overall proficiency index, which averages results across all tested subjects and grades, placed Hominy in the bottom quartile among Osage County's districts. A parent should be aware that Oklahoma changed its cut scores for math and English language arts in this testing cycle, which makes direct year-over-year comparisons unreliable, but the current results are what they are.

The district's chronic absenteeism rate was in the bottom quartile among the county's districts, meaning a higher share of students missed a substantial number of school days. Per-pupil current spending fell in the middle range, lower half, of the county's districts. A graduation rate was not available in the data provided.

Hominy is a small district, with an enrollment that is spread fairly evenly across the grades from kindergarten through twelfth grade, plus a pre-kindergarten program. The student population is predominantly American Indian or Alaska Native and white, with a notable share of students identifying as two or more races. The district's schools include an early childhood center, an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.

Housing in the district is affordable relative to state and national benchmarks. The weighted home value estimate for the district is well below the Oklahoma median and far below the national median. The largest share of the district's housing stock is in the Hominy zip code, where home values have seen a decline over the past year. Rental data is sparse, with only a single zip code contributing. The estimated monthly mortgage payment, based on current rates, is modest, and the estimated rent-to-income ratio is low, suggesting housing costs are not a heavy burden for most households.

The district brief turned up no recent changes that would meet the bar of a four-year lasting impact. The district appears to be operating without major recent disruption or transformation. A parent considering Hominy should weigh the very low academic proficiency rates and the high chronic absenteeism against the district's small size, its rural setting, and the affordable housing market. The district serves a community with a significant American Indian population, and the schools are the only public option in the area.
