Summary:
ZIP code 73762 has three Okarche public schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12, with 450 students combined: Okarche Elementary School (PK–6), Okarche Junior High School (grades 7–9), and Okarche High School (grades 10–12). The clearest shared strength is mathematics: the schools’ 2025–26 All Grades results averaged 42% proficient, 17 percentage points above the state figure of 25%; their average science and ELA results were also above state figures, by 13 and 10 points, respectively.
The strongest results vary by subject. Elementary led in All Grades mathematics (53%) and science (58%), while High led in ELA (46%) and had the only reported U.S. History result (54%). Junior High had the lowest All Grades ELA result, at 19%—27 points below High and 7 points below the state figure of 26%. High’s 46% ELA result was 20 points above the state. Results also differ by grade: Junior High ELA was 4 points below the state in grade 7 and 1 point below in grade 8, while its mathematics results were 22 and 9 points above the state in those grades.
Across the schools, average results fell from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 6 points in ELA and 2 points each in mathematics and science, but individual schools moved in different directions: Elementary gained 8 points in ELA and 19 in science, while Junior High fell 11, 7, and 18 points in those subjects; High’s ELA result declined 16 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings were 57 of 626 (91st percentile) for Elementary, 120 of 378 (68th percentile) for Junior High, and 33 of 462 (93rd percentile) for High. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 35% at Elementary, 27% at Junior High, and 21% at High; these figures are context, not an explanation for achievement. These schools serve different grade spans, so All Grades comparisons are less directly comparable than same-grade comparisons.
