History
The district was previously operating all grades K-12.[5] A facility built in 1926 was destroyed by a 1942 fire.[6] The current school facility opened in 1943.[5]
Several years prior to 2009, there were 197 students. By 2009 the amount of money given by the Oklahoma state government had declined, and that year, the student count was 125.[5] In 2010,[3] an election was to be held on whether the district was to continue having high school classes.[5] The electorate decided to end high school education effective spring 2010. The elementary school and middle school continue to operate while the old high school building is abandoned. The high school campus contains two basketball gyms, the main gym named Carl Horner gymnasium, and an old gym connected to the school. The only remnants of the football field is the concession stand.[citation needed]
In 2010 the school district had 51 students in the physical school building, but its official enrollment was 970,
