The Best School Districts for High-End Homes in Oklahoma (And a Shoutout to That One Family with the Alpaca and a Homeschool Curriculum Built on YouTube)
by Wyatt Poindexter, The Agency Oklahoma
Let’s be honest—buying a luxury home isn’t just about the infinity pool or the Sub-Zero fridge. For many high-end buyers, school districts are right up there with wine cellars and square footage. Whether you're raising the next Nobel Prize winner, Division I quarterback, or a future entrepreneur with a lemonade stand empire, education plays a huge role in real estate decisions.
Here’s a breakdown of where the smartest investments—and some of the smartest kids—are being made in Oklahoma.
1. Edmond Public Schools (Where Test Scores and Tile Roofs Go Hand in Hand)
Edmond is a perennial favorite, and not just because of its luxury neighborhoods like Oak Tree, Iron Horse Ranch, and White Oak. The public schools here are top-rated, with competitive academics, strong extracurriculars, and enough AP classes to make your head spin.
2. Deer Creek Schools (High-End Homes, Higher Expectations)
Deer Creek is known for its sprawling estates, gated communities, and a school system that consistently ranks among the best in the state. From competitive sports to National Merit Scholars, it’s a district where excellence is expected—and delivered.
3. Jenks Public Schools (Tulsa’s Academic and Athletic Powerhouse)
Jenks is Tulsa’s version of luxury + legacy. Known for elite championship football, exceptional teachers, and beautiful suburban neighborhoods, it’s a magnet for families seeking it all.
4. Norman Public Schools (Boomer Sooner with a Side of Brains)
Norman offers the charm of a university town with a strong public school system. Whether you’re close to OU’s campus or tucked into the hills around Lake Thunderbird, you’ll find custom homes, a vibrant community, and classrooms that turn out future doctors and engineers. Boomer!
5. Bixby & Broken Arrow (Tulsa’s Fast-Growing Luxury Corridors)
These two districts are rising stars for luxury buyers who want more space, strong academics, and newer construction. With family-friendly communities, gorgeous custom homes, and real value, they’re attracting buyers who want upscale living and a solid school foundation.
6. Private & Christian Schools (Where Latin, Logic, and Lacrosse All Have Their Place)
Let’s not forget the private and Christian school families—some of Oklahoma’s most exclusive campuses serve as magnets for luxury buyers who want tailored education and values-based leadership.
• Casady School & Heritage Hall (OKC): Elite, college-prep schools known for academic excellence and vibrant arts and athletics.
• Holland Hall & Metro Christian Academy (Tulsa): Beautiful campuses, smaller class sizes, and strong traditions in academics and service.
• Crossings Christian School, Mount St. Mary, and Bishop McGuinness: Exceptional private faith-based education in the heart of the OKC metro.
• Oklahoma Christian School (OCS) in Edmond: A highly respected school offering a Christ-centered education, athletics, and strong community engagement.
• Oklahoma Christian Academy (OCA) in Edmond: Known for its nurturing environment, academic integrity, and strong Biblical foundation for K-12 students.
• Christian Heritage Academy (Del City): A classical Christian education rooted in biblical worldview and traditional values.
Many of our luxury buyers choose these schools for their excellence, safety, and strong family culture—not to mention their proximity to some of Oklahoma’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
Bonus Round: Homeschooling—Because Why Not Build a STEM Lab Next to Your Wine Cellar?
Let’s not forget the homeschool families building in-home classrooms, science labs, reading nooks, and full gymnasiums. One family had alpacas and a custom geography lesson built around feeding time. Another had a YouTube-based curriculum and a private tutor that flies in twice a month. No bell schedule—just brilliance.
Final Bell: Homes, Homework, and High Standards
In luxury real estate, schools matter. Whether public, private, Christian, or custom homeschool, the right educational option often drives where families buy—and what they’ll pay.
At The Agency Oklahoma, we work with clients who want the best of both worlds: a dream home and the right district. Whether you’re looking to be in the heart of Deer Creek or steps from OCS, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.
Because luxury isn’t just about how a home looks—it’s about how it lives.
