Summary

Okapilco Elementary School is a rural PK-5 school in Moultrie, GA, serving 360 students within the Colquitt County School District. Over the past decade, the school has climbed from the bottom quartile of statewide rankings to the 36th percentile in 2025-2026, earning 2 stars for the third consecutive year after a period of 1-star ratings.

One of the most striking highlights is the school's exceptional 4th grade math performance. In 2025-2026, 58.7% of 4th graders were proficient in math—beating the district (56.5%) and state (50.1%) averages, and even outperforming several higher-ranked nearby schools like Hamilton Elementary and Sunset Elementary. However, 3rd and 5th grade math proficiency (25.5% and 22.7%) lag behind, suggesting a particularly strong 4th grade cohort or targeted interventions that could be replicated. The school has also made dramatic progress in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 27.2% in 2023-2024 to 13.1% in 2025-2026—a 52% reduction that now beats both the district (15.1%) and state (17.7%) averages.

Okapilco invests heavily in its students, spending $21,431 per pupil—nearly 40% more than comparable schools like Odom Elementary ($15,189) and Norman Park Elementary ($15,089)—with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.5. While overall performance remains in the lower-middle range, the school's consistent upward trajectory (improving in 8 of the last 10 years) stands out among high-poverty peers. Notably, Stringfellow Elementary spends even more ($27,014) with similar or worse outcomes, suggesting Okapilco's spending is relatively efficient. Subgroup performance is remarkably consistent across gender and racial groups (all in the 34-36th percentile range), indicating equitable outcomes for all students. Science proficiency has also improved from 23.4% in 2022-2023 to 33.9% in 2025-2026, showing the school can make substantial gains in specific subjects over time.
