Extractions: Education in Oklahoma City is very different from the time when parents' only option was to send their child to the school assigned through an attendance plan. Today, Oklahoma City Public Schools offers parents a choice in the style of education their child receives. Who better to decide a child's educational path than the people who know the child best. Parents can choose the school closest to their home, or they can choose a school that uses an emphasis or theme to excite children's interest in school. They can also choose a school where parents and community leaders map the students' curriculum and activities. Each of these choices gives students a unique educational experience and the opportunity to succeed. Attendance Zone Schools are comprised of students who reside in a particular area and these schools are typically the closest to a student's home. The quality education is based on the traditional model, with a focus on core subjects and giving the students a well-rounded education. There are 74 Attendance Zone Schools around the district.
