Woodland Public Schools (Oklahoma)

School district in Oklahoma, United States

Woodland Public Schools, also known as Woodland School District, is a school district headquartered in Fairfax, Oklahoma. It has an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.

The district boundary is mostly in Osage County and includes Fairfax, a portion of Burbank,[1] and Gray Horse.[2] It is also partially in Pawnee County, where it includes Ralston.[3]

History

It was established in 1990 when the Fairfax and Ralston school districts merged.[4]

In 2002 the Burbank school district dissolved, with a portion going to Woodland.[5]

Beginning in the 2013–2014 school year, the district stopped sending certain data to the Oklahoma Department of Education and the United States Department of Education (ED).[6] Circa 2021 the ED asked about 17,000 school districts to respond to a request, and Woodland was the sole district not to comply.[7]
