Fort Gibson Schools

What Fort Gibson Schools does

Fort Gibson Public Schools is a Pre-K through Grade 12 public school district headquartered at 500 South Ross in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, governed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education and a five-member Board of Education led by President Scott Abbott and Superintendent Scott Farmer. The district operates four school sites — Early Learning Center (Pre-K-K), Intermediate Elementary (3-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12) — serving 1,713 enrolled students with a reported 95% graduation rate in 2024. Its core product is comprehensive K-12 academic instruction augmented by 11 interscholastic sports, 93+ student clubs and organizations, and fine arts programs including band, choir, drama, and indoor drum line. The district's flagship educational technology is a 1:1 Chromebook/BYOD initiative launched in the 2013-14 school year, deploying approximately 1,200 devices across grades 3-12 (Chrome Tablets for K-2), integrated with Google GSuite for Education, and supported by per-student technology lease fees of $25 annually for grades KG-2 plus negligence/loss charges.

The business model is characteristic of a U.S. public school district rather than a commercial enterprise: the vast majority of revenue flows from state and local government appropriations, federal program funding (Title I, II, III, IV, VI-B, IDEA, Johnson O'Malley, Carl D. Perkins Vocational & Technical Education Act, and McKinney-Vento), and local property tax revenue. Ancillary revenue streams are nominal and include technology lease fees, paid meal prices ($1.50-$2.65 for student breakfast/lunch, $2.50-$5.00 adult meals) processed via MySchoolBucks, before/after school care ($9-$10 per day per child for Pre-K through 5th grade), and yearbook pre-orders at $40. The district uses a sales-led enrollment motion through PowerSchool pre-registration, supported by parent engagement via ParentSquare and TigerVision Broadcasting (a student-run YouTube channel streaming 40+ varsity athletic events and weekly newscasts). Notable differentiators include the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School designation (top less than 1% nationally) for Fort Gibson High School, the 2026 Oklahoma High School Principal of the Year recognition awarded to Principal Ben Pemberton, and a federally-funded Indian Education program with dedicated JOM Coordinator and Native American Instructor positions serving culturally-relevant programming for eligible Native American students.
