The Mid-Del School District is a school district based in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. As of 2007, the school district included more than 14,500 K-12 students.

The school district has grown from four original schools to include 21 middle and elementary schools and three high schools at present. It also includes the Mid-Del Technology Center, the only designated technology center in the state that shares a school board with a public school district.

Within Oklahoma County, it includes most of Midwest City, almost all of Del City, all of Smith Village, most of Forest Park, and as well as a portion of Oklahoma City (including Tinker Air Force Base). The district extends into Cleveland County, where it includes portions of Oklahoma City and Norman.

History

The school district originated as a set of schools based solely in Midwest City, which consisted of prefabricated hutments with five teachers and 125 students. It originally included four schools, two of which were precursors to Sooner Elementary School and Soldier Creek Elementary School. A total of 1,250 students were enrolled in the second year of the school system.

The first permanent school building was dedicated in 1944, after two years of using temporary buildings. It cost $314,000 and was funded through the Lanham Act and Federal Works Agency. The building today houses Jarman Middle School.

Oscar Rose was an early superintendent of the school district and the namesake for Midwest City's community college, Rose State.

In 2024 Rick Cobb, the superintendent of Mid-Del, accused Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction, of engaging in defamation against his school district by accusing the district of not properly spending funding from the federal government. Cobb made his statement at a meeting of the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
