Okay

Okay has two schools serving PK–12: Okay Elementary School (PK–8, 249 students) and Okay High School (grades 9–12, 116 students), with 365 students total. Their clearest shared challenge is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 15% of Elementary students and 11% of High students were proficient, compared with 25% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was a relative strength, at 5.1% and 6.7%, respectively, versus 15.9% statewide. The most important takeaway is that ELA is a relative bright spot, but math proficiency is below the state rate at both schools.

The schools stand out in different subjects. High leads in all-grades ELA, with 46% proficient versus Elementary’s 22%; High is 20 points above the 26% state rate, while Elementary is 4 points below. Elementary leads in science, at 34% compared with High’s 12% and the state’s 30%—4 points above the state for Elementary and 18 below for High. Elementary also has the higher math result, but its 15% is still 10 points below the state rate; High is 14 points below. High’s grade 11 ELA result was 46%, 10 points above the state, while its math, science, and U.S. History results were below state rates. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 90%, 13 points above the state rate.

Results changed unevenly over time. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, High gained 17 points in ELA and 5 in math; its science result stayed at 12%, while U.S. History rose 1 point. Elementary gained 5 points in science and 2 in ELA, but math fell 2 points. SchoolDigger’s High percentile rose from 17 to 42, a 25-point increase; the available Elementary rankings do not show a comparable annual sequence. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 77% at Elementary and 78% at High. High had a lower student-teacher ratio (12.3:1 versus 15:1), but that did not mean it led in every subject. Because the schools serve different grades, their all-grades results are not a same-grade comparison.
