Summary

Oktaha Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Oktaha, Oklahoma, with 440 students. The school is part of the Oktaha School District, which is ranked 277 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oktaha Elementary School has faced academic challenges, with student performance on state assessments (OSTP) generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 16% and 27% respectively, compared to the state averages of 26% and 26%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 3.7% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Oktaha Elementary School serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, notably higher than the state average.

When comparing Oktaha Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. For instance, Sadler Arts Academy, located 13.83 miles away, consistently outperforms Oktaha Elementary School on state assessments, with proficiency rates in the 60-80% range across subject areas. Despite these challenges, Oktaha Elementary School's small size and relatively high spending per student ($8,334 in 2018-2019) could present opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized learning approaches to address the specific needs of its student population.
