List of Buildings throughout Oklahoma City Public Schools’ History

Description:

What follows is an alphabetic list of school buildings which at one time or another were part of the Oklahoma City Public School system. The list was compiled using various tools including newspaper articles, city directories, etc. Every reasonable attempt at accuracy has been made and any documented proof of errors will be greatly appreciated. Information on operating schools is current to March, 2020.

Schools with no closing date are still operating schools. Schools listed in italics are buildings which no longer function as public schools but which are still standing and may be in use for other purposes (e.g. Franklin School now houses the City Rescue Mission) or simply vacant. Schools that are no longer standing and have been demolished are noted in bold; demolition dates are hard to determine, so a reasonably approximate date maybe listed.
