Mustang Public Schools, a PK-12 system ranked among the top 3 performing districts in Oklahoma and recently named one of the state’s best employers and places to work.

Moore Public Schools, the state’s third-largest district serving more than 24,500 students and consistently ranked among the top for diversity as well as athletic and academic performance and opportunities.

Putnam City Public Schools, which serves approximately 20,000 students in the northwest reaches of Oklahoma City as well as Bethany and Warr Acres.

Getting around Oklahoma City

Generally speaking, Oklahoma City’s grid system of streets and highways makes it fairly easy to get around, no matter what part of the city you’re in. Traversed by major interstates like I-44, I-40, I-240, and I-35, you can get in and out of the city without much hassle and with normal traffic. Most streets and thoroughfares like May, Pennsylvania, and Reno Aves. run from the very south of the city all the way north, and same goes for many of the numbered streets running east and west, like 23rd, 36th, and 50th Streets on the north side and 44th, 59th, and 149th Streets on the south side.

If you happen to be downtown, you can even hop a ride on the city’s new streetcar!

Things to do in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City offers plenty of activities, events, and festivals all year around—many of them free—so there really is something for everyone. The Oklahoma State Fair is always a favorite during the fall and the newly completed Scissortail Park is always alive with holiday festivals, farmers markets, and performances.

You can always catch a baseball game (the Oklahoma City Dodgers), a basketball game (the OKC Thunder), a soccer match (the OKC Energy FC), or a football game from any of the surrounding colleges, and there are 14 (or more!) districts to explore, each with their own special flavor.

If you want to get out of the city but stay close to home, there’s always adventure on the outskirts, whether the family-friendly activities on the southwest side; Lake Stanley Draper on the southeast; Hurricane Harbor, the OKC Outlets, and Lake Overholser to the northwest; or all of the action north of I-40.
