Summary:
Okeene, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Okeene Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school is ranked 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 323 out of 614 schools (2024-2025) and 695 out of 957 schools (2014-2015), indicating average to below-average performance compared to other elementary schools in the state of Okeene.
Okeene Elementary School's academic performance is generally below the state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates in 5th grade English Language Arts (23%) and Mathematics (8%), compared to state averages of 27% and 27%, respectively. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which may contribute to its academic challenges. However, the school's per-student spending of $8,270 in the 2018-2019 school year was slightly above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year is relatively low, suggesting a favorable learning environment.
Despite the school's average to below-average performance, the data highlights both areas of strength and areas that could benefit from further attention and improvement efforts. Addressing the low proficiency rates in the upper elementary grades and the higher chronic absenteeism rate may be key priorities for the school as it works to improve student outcomes and better serve the community of Okeene.
