Summary

Okapilco Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Moultrie, Georgia, with 359 students. The school is part of the Colquitt County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,143 to $10,877 over the past few years, Okapilco Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Colquitt County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.9% of 3rd graders at Okapilco were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.5% in Colquitt County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 820 and 1046 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools, and has consistently received a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Okapilco Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts in the Colquitt County district, such as Hamilton Elementary, Sunset Elementary, and Wright Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores, higher rankings, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing the issues at Okapilco Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting both academic and socioeconomic factors.

The teachers at Okapilco work hard to make sure Colquitt County youth have the knowledge and life skills they need to succeed. Every time I visit, I walk into a clean and beautiful school greeted by nearly everyone I pass in the hall. It’s very welcoming! Close Quote
