How Optima Public School compares with Oklahoma and U.S. medians
What stands out at Optima Public School
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Optima Public School enrolls fewer students than most Oklahoma schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Optima Public School serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Optima Public School is a small combined-grade school in Optima, Oklahoma, enrolling 47 students.
Class loads run heavy: 47:1 is larger than about 99% of Oklahoma schools and 192% above the 16.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
This is a small campus: fewer students than 97% of Oklahoma schools, with 47 enrolled.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 1,778 scored Oklahoma schools.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (85% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 25/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 43 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
12.8% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
Its district draws 22.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Optima operates only this one school, so Optima Public School has no district-mates to compare against locally. At 47 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of Oklahoma's single-school districts.
