Chouteau-Mazie Public School

What Chouteau-Mazie Public School does

Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools (CMPS) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Chouteau, Oklahoma, operating five campuses — Early Childhood Center, Chouteau Elementary, Chouteau Middle School, Chouteau High School, and Mazie Elementary — that serve students from PreK through 12th grade across Mayes County. The district's core offering is state-mandated free public education supplemented by federal Title programs (Title I, II, IV, VI, IX, X) and ESSER II/III funding, with a small ancillary revenue stream from student fees (yearbooks, athletic photos, class shirts) and meal programs. Extracurricular programs span athletics (Air Rifle national championships, Sooner 5 Conference titles, 3A Academic State Champions volleyball), STEM initiatives (Elementary STEM Lab, FTC Robotics Team #12766 "Thundercatz," Action Based Learning Lab), middle-school esports ("The Choustoppers"), marching band, and Cherokee Nation Title VI Indian Education services.

CMPS is governed by an elected board of education (RJ Wishard, Brett Drumm, Amber Rice, Cory Nicholas, Jason Stutzman) under Superintendent Josh Gwartney, and is structured as an independent political subdivision of the State of Oklahoma rather than a commercial enterprise. The district's go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer open enrollment, with families contacting the administration office at 115 Railroad, Chouteau, OK 74337 (918-476-8376) to enroll resident or transfer students. Communications and community engagement are routed through an Apptegy-powered website (chouteauwildcats.com), iOS and Android mobile apps, and active Facebook/Twitter accounts. Revenue mechanics are overwhelmingly non-discretionary: annual appropriations from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, federal Title and ESSER grants, local property taxes, and minor fee-based transactions — no commercial pricing model, no contract revenue, and no disclosed financials (explicitly notes revenue is not publicly disclosed).

Operationally, CMPS functions as a community-anchored institution with deep local entrenchment: PTO organizations, a Booster Club, Boys and Girls Club after-school programming, partnerships with local churches and the Cherokee Nation, and recent marquee student outcomes (the district's first-ever Gates Scholar, Clarissa Jackson, in 2022; a 28-win Ladycats softball season; national Air Rifle championships). Strategic positioning reflects a small rural district focused on retention, extracurricular breadth, and student well-being rather than scale expansion. No funding rounds, no M&A, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no patents or trademarks appear in the record; restructuring and leadership changes are limited to routine administrative turnover and the recent superintendent transition.

Regional players

• Wagoner Public Schools: Larger K-12 district in the same east Oklahoma region with broader program offerings; competes for transfer students and serves as a regional incumbent CMPS families may choose instead.
• Inola Public Schools: Geographically nearby Rogers County K-12 district with comparable rural-community character and athletic conference overlap, making it a regional comparison for transfer dynamics.
• Mazie Public Schools (historical/area district): The Mazie community itself historically operated as an independent district before consolidating with Chouteau; the Mazie campus within CMPS continues to serve PreK-8 and reflects the multi-community structure common to small Oklahoma districts.

Others

• Apptegy: Vendor partner powering CMPS's district communications platform, website, and mobile apps. Not a competitive peer but the key enabling technology infrastructure for parent/student engagement.

Direct peers

• Pryor Public Schools: Larger neighboring public K-12 district also serving Mayes County, Oklahoma. Closest geographic peer and direct competitor for open-enrollment transfer students in the same catchment area.
• Locust Grove Public Schools: Adjacent Mayes County K-12 district that competes for transfer students and shares similar rural demographics, athletic conference, and funding structure under the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
• Salina Public Schools: Nearby small rural Oklahoma K-12 district with comparable enrollment scale, athletic conference alignment, and federal/state Title funding mix, making it a direct operational peer.
• Adair Public Schools: Small neighboring K-12 district serving a similar rural Mayes County-adjacent population, offering comparable Title-funded programs and competing for transfer enrollment.

Broad incumbents

• Oklahoma State Department of Education: The state regulatory and funding authority that oversees all Oklahoma public K-12 districts including CMPS; sets Title funding rules, transfer policy, and academic standards that govern district operations.

Emerging players

• KIPP Oklahoma: Charter school operator in Oklahoma providing an alternative public K-12 option that competes for the same Title-funded student population, representing an emerging alternative to traditional rural district enrollment.
