Summary

Okay Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Okay, Oklahoma, with 253 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average, ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade.

Okay Elementary School faces several key challenges. It has low academic performance, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17% in Math, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching 19% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, over 81% of Okay Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also spends only $7,959 per student, lower than the spending levels of many nearby schools.

When comparing Okay Elementary School to nearby schools, the differences are stark. For example, William R. Teague Elementary School in Wagoner, just 7.66 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science across all grade levels. Similarly, Sadler Arts Academy in Muskogee, 8.14 miles away, had proficiency rates more than double those of Okay Elementary School. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that with the right interventions and support, Okay Elementary School could potentially improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
