Tuttle Schools
Tuttle schools are among the finest in the state. Each year, students win numerous awards in all areas- academics, athletics, and music. Tuttle High School students were named State Champions in the Robotics competition. Students have achieved 57 state team champion ships both athletic and academic since 1989. The college attendance rate for graduates is 72%. The District has four campuses- a kindergarten through third grade campus, a fourth and fifth grade campus, a sixth through eighth grade campus, and a ninth through twelfth grade campus. The District also has a stadium complex on Main Street, which includes its Agricultural buildings. Bus service is available to pick up students in outlying areas.

The High School (grades 9-12), at 604 S. Cimarron, was completed in 1985 and includes classroomms, a gym, track, cafeteria, library, baseball field, and wrestling building.

Students must complete 30 credit hours to graduate including 4 English, 3 Math, 3 Science, and 3 Social Studies classes. Honors classes are also available.
The District has a Gifted and Talented program for students in the Elementary and Middle Schools. High School students have the opportunity to take advanced classes as part of the gifted program. The District also provides some college classes at the High School through Redlands Community College in El Reno.
In addition to academics, students have opportunities to participate in football, basketball, wrestling, softball, baseball, track, band, chorus, art, robotics, cheerleading, Quiz Bowl, TEEM copetitions, foreign language study, drama, FFA, FCCLA and other activities. Computer literacy is considered essential for student success, and computer classes are required for graduation.
The Elementary and Middle Schools are closed campuses; meaning students may not go out at lunch. High School students are free to leave the campus for lunch.
The High School also has an alternative School for students who work better in a nontraditional setting.
