Summary

Optima Public School is an elementary school in Optima, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 50 students. The school is part of the Optima District, which is ranked 427 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Optima Public School has a long history of low performance, ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools for the past several years.

Optima Public School significantly underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 10% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 3% proficient in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, reaching 19% in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Optima Public School serves a high-poverty student population, with 88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Goodwell Elementary School and Hooker Elementary School, Optima Public School performs significantly worse, with higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism at the neighboring schools. Optima Public School's long-term decline in performance suggests that the school and the Optima District will need to implement comprehensive, evidence-based strategies to improve student outcomes and support the needs of their high-poverty student population.
