Pretty proud of those last three…They are the only Oklahoma “open enrollment” schools on this list. However. How the #&$#! did only one Edmond school make it? And why is Norman High almost 100 better than Norman North?
- B: ...Well, naming fictional characters is really hard. It took a lot of work when I was writing my screenplay.
