Cache Public Schools serve families in Cache and western Lawton near Fort Sill, from primary through high school. Here is what parents should know about the district and enrollment. Cache Public Schools is a small rural district that educates roughly 2,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across five campuses, and it is one of the most common school choices for military families stationed at Fort Sill. If you are comparing districts as part of a move to Southwest Oklahoma, here is what you should know.
About Cache Public Schools
Cache Public Schools operates from a district office at 102 E H Avenue in Cache and runs on the standard Oklahoma school calendar. The district serves students from Cache itself as well as surrounding areas of western Lawton, which makes it a practical option for families who choose homes along the Highway 62 corridor between Cache and the city. Roughly 18% of Cache students are military dependents tied to Fort Sill, so district staff regularly work with families who arrive mid-year on a PCS assignment. For a broader picture of the town, our guide to living in Cache covers housing, drive times, and daily life, and our Cache Public Schools page rounds up the key facts at a glance.
Campuses in the District
The district runs five campuses: Cache Primary School, Cache Intermediate School, the Cache Fifth & Sixth Grade Center, Cache Middle School, and Cache High School, which serves grades 9 through 12. Having a dedicated fifth and sixth grade center gives those grades their own building and staff rather than folding them into a larger middle school. Because every campus sits within a few minutes of the others in town, families with kids in multiple grades rarely juggle far-flung drop-offs.

Enrollment and Registration
Enrollment for new students opens each spring for the following school year and continues through the summer. Families moving into the area can call the district office at 580-429-3266 or use the official Cache Public Schools website for registration forms, immunization requirements, and the proof-of-residency documents new students need. Because the district also serves parts of western Lawton, families arriving on PCS orders should confirm their address and attendance area with the district office before choosing between on-post and off-post options.

Living Near the Cache Schools
Cache sits about 15 minutes northwest of downtown Lawton along Highway 62, roughly 23 minutes from Fort Sill's main gate, and about 10 minutes from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. That puts Cache schools within an easy commute of Lawton jobs, Fort Sill, and weekend recreation like hiking and fishing. The town's annual Festival of the Wichitas and its parks give families reasons to gather close to home. Our Cache community guide has more detail on the area's restaurants, parks, and recreation.
