Okay High School

Summary:

Okay High School is a public high school located in Okay, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the Okay School District, which is ranked 311 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Okay High School has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 2.9% were proficient or better in Mathematics. These scores are significantly lower than the nearby Tahlequah High School (31.4% in ELA, 17.4% in Math) and Fort Gibson High School (51.8% in ELA, 23% in Math). Okay High School's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 72% to 80.1%, which is on par with nearby schools but suggests the school may be struggling to consistently support students in completing their high school education.

Okay High School serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby Tahlequah High School (68.16%) and Fort Gibson High School (46.07%), indicating that Okay High School serves a more economically disadvantaged population. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 153 out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in the 2014-2015 school year to 372 out of 431 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting its performance has been deteriorating relative to other high schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
