School Districts in OKC

The OKC area school districts are just one more reason to move here, but for families, it’s a pretty solid one! Homes by Taber builds in the top OKC suburbs, including Edmond and Piedmont, which boast some of the best public education, not just in this region but the entire state.

Edmond Public Schools

Edmond Public Schools is Niche’s #1 school district out of 425 in Oklahoma. The Edmond school district is home to over 25,000 students within 17 elementary schools, six middle schools, three high schools, two alternative high school programs, and an early childhood center. It is the third-largest and fastest-growing school district in the state. 

EPS faculty and staff are committed to making their schools a safe and inspiring place for all students, where they grow, learn, and develop knowledge, life skills, and values. It’s no surprise (but certainly a big benefit) that it has earned eleven National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence — the most of any district in Oklahoma. 

In addition to the academics, Edmond excels at what it does after school hours. Edmond Public Schools are also known for their athletics and have brought home nearly 100 OSSAA state athletic championships. Whether your Edmond student is playing football, basketball or on the swim team, their coaches are teaching valuable leadership skills, sportsmanship and responsibility.

Academics and athletics aside, the Edmond School District is also a highly-rated employer. Edmond Public Schools was named among the top 20 large employers in the region and is currently the largest employer in Edmond. 

Homes By Taber is launching a brand new community of single-family homes at Delmer Lakes North, so you can become one of the founding families of this neighborhood. We also have homesites and move-in ready homes for sale in Edmond.

GreatSchools gave a perfect “10” to schools from elementary through high school.

Thinking this sounds ideal for you and your kids? Homes By Taber has a variety of communities that are served by the Deer Creek School District.

Piedmont Public Schools

Piedmont is a growing OKC suburb, due in part to its easy commute to Oklahoma City and the surrounding area as well as the quality lifestyle. For education, Neighborhood Scout ranked Piedmont Public Schools #7 in the entire state! Student enrollment has increased by 33% since 2014 across the seven total schools here: Piedmont Early Childhood Center, three elementary schools, Piedmont Intermediate, Middle School, and High School. 

Student success is the core of Piedmont. Piedmont Public School students scored higher than the Oklahoma state average in all four testing subjects and total composite score of the ACT.  Additionally, Piedmont Public Schools ranked among the Oklahoman’s Top 10 “Top Workplaces” of 2019 (side note: Homes By Taber made this list two years in a row). 

Separating Piedmont from other districts in the OKC metro is the Piedmont Early Childhood Center, a dedicated school for pre-K and kindergarten students. They welcomed its first students in the 2019-2020 school year. With a motto of “think you can, believe you can, and do your very best”, the Piedmont Early Childhood Center is preparing kids for elementary school through hands-on learning. Everything in this brand new school is state-of-the-art, secure, and the perfect size for Piedmont’s smallest residents. 

Awarded “The College Success Award” in 2019, Piedmont High School continues to rise in the rankings. The construction of additional classrooms, science labs, and more improvements are currently underway.
