Summary:
The city of Oktaha, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Oktaha Elementary School and Oktaha High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Oktaha school district.
Oktaha Elementary School stands out for its exceptional 8th grade math proficiency, with 53% of students meeting or exceeding standards, far surpassing the state average of 15%. In contrast, the school's 5th grade math proficiency is closer to the state average at 25%. Oktaha High School boasts a racially diverse student population, with 42.55% White, 45.96% Native American, and smaller percentages of other racial groups, which could provide a well-rounded educational experience for students.
Both schools face challenges, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the high school spends significantly more per student ($12,083) compared to the elementary school ($8,334), which raises questions about equitable funding across the district. Overall, the data suggests that while Oktaha Elementary School excels in 8th grade math, the district as a whole must address economic disparities and ensure consistent, high-quality education across all grade levels.
