What stands out about Bixby

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 10% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +10.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Oklahoma's statewide +6.4% by 4.2 points, a growth rate faster than 65% of the 503 Oklahoma districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 17.1% here, from 6,661 students in FY2019 to 7,800 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
