Situated in northwest Oklahoma, Woodward merges historic feel with metropolitan amenities in a charming rural surrounding. Settled in the late 19th century, Woodward has a historic Main Street district and a quaint suburban section that stretches up towards the North Canadian River. There’s a plethora of locally owned businesses along Oklahoma Ave. Polly Anna Cafe is a city staple for breakfast food, and Wagg’s Bar-B-Q will show you what Oklahoma barbecue is all about.
If you’re looking to experience the expanse of wilderness that’s all around Woodward, all you have to do is drive east to Boiling Springs State Park, named for its bubbling hot springs. Despite its location near the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas, Woodward is still relatively accessible thanks to US-412 and US-270, which will carry you to Oklahoma City should you need a getaway.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
