TOP SCHOOLS

The city sends students to two public school systems, Bethany Public Schools and Putnam City Public Schools. Both districts rank among the best in the state in terms of testing, student to teacher ratio, and high school graduation. With highly-rated teachers, prep-courses, top-notch academics, and competitive sports, the school districts have been a major pull to the area for homebuyers and families across the state.

COMMUNITY BACKSTORY

Founded in 1909 as a community for members of the Church of the Nazarene, Bethany has a long and rich history dating back to the early days of statehood. Today, the largest employer in the city - Southern Nazarene University - is a testament to Bethany's Nazarene history. In 1930, the city was almost completely wiped out by a devastating F4 tornado, but the city persevered and is now an important part of the Oklahoma City Metro area.
