Summary:
The 74450 zip code area is home to two schools - Oktaha Elementary School and Oktaha High School, both part of the Oktaha school district. While the elementary school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, both schools face challenges in terms of student proficiency, graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
Oktaha Elementary School has experienced a significant drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 108 out of 411 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 380 out of 614 in 2024-2025. This trend indicates the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. Additionally, both Oktaha Elementary and Oktaha High School have relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Oklahoma state average, with the elementary school's 2024-2025 ELA and math proficiency rates at just 16% and 27%, respectively.
The high school also faces challenges, with a 4-year graduation rate of only 82.2% in 2023-2024, lower than the state average. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% in 2024-2025, which can negatively impact student achievement. Despite these challenges, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with a large majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both the elementary (82.95%) and high school (80.18%) levels.
