Original Research by School Decision on Westmoore Hs
Westmoore High School sits in the far southern reach of Oklahoma City, inside Cleveland County though it carries an Oklahoma City address. The school is part of the Moore Public Schools district, a system that has invested in teacher pay and growing per-student funding in recent years according to publicly reported information. The campus serves grades nine through twelve and enrolls a very large student body for a high school. That size is a defining feature: with hundreds of students in each grade, the scale shapes nearly everything about the experience, from course variety and extracurriculars to the social environment.
The student body is diverse. A little over a third of students identify as white, with the next largest groups being Hispanic, students of two or more races, Asian, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native, in that order. A small number of students are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. The school reports no data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is an unusual gap and one that a parent may want to clarify with the school. Similarly, information on students with disabilities and English learners is absent from the available data.
State testing results and a graduation rate are not available in the data provided for this profile. For a large comprehensive high school in Oklahoma, state assessments and a four-year graduation rate are typically reported, so this absence is notable. Whether the data was suppressed, not yet published for the relevant year, or simply unavailable through this source is not clear. A parent looking for academic outcomes will need to seek that information directly from the school or the district. The comparison against other districts in Cleveland County was not possible because the key measures were missing.
What is documented is the school’s sheer size and its location. The Oklahoma City area has been on a sustained growth trajectory, and Moore Public Schools has seen rising financial investment. The housing market around the school, based on the zip code covering this part of southern Oklahoma City, shows home values and rents that are above the state average but remain below national levels. A typical home in this area costs more than the statewide median, and rents are moderate relative to incomes. The neighborhood is largely suburban and car-dependent, consistent with this part of the Oklahoma City metro, where wide arterials and strip development dominate outside the downtown core.
The school offers no data on programs such as Advanced Placement, career-technical pathways, or dual credit, which are common in large Oklahoma high schools. It is not a charter or magnet school. It operates as a traditional public high school within the Moore district. Given the enrollment size, it would be unusual if a school this large did not offer a broad curriculum, but the available record does not confirm it.
Westmoore High School presents as a very large, diverse high school in a growing suburban part of the Oklahoma City metro, where the district has been putting more resources into teacher salaries and per-student spending. The absence of academic performance data, graduation rates, and program offerings means that any family considering this school will need to do additional homework: call the school, visit, and ask about test scores, graduation outcomes, and what pathways are available to students. The size and diversity are clear, but the academic track record that typically accompanies a profile of this type is not visible here.
