This school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 74.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance has been declining over the years, dropping from a ranking of 153 out of 449 Oklahoma high schools in 2014-2015 to 293 out of 439 schools in 2022-2023, a concerning trend.

Okay High School has a diverse student population, with a majority of Native American students (50%) and significant representation of White (38.68%) and other racial groups. However, the school's academic proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics (6.5%) and science (12.9%), are alarmingly low, indicating significant room for improvement in student learning outcomes. Despite the relatively low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($10,770) compared to the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to explore ways to improve the return on investment in student education.

Overall, Okay High School faces several challenges, including high poverty rates, declining school performance, and low academic proficiency in core subject areas. The school's diverse student population and high spending per student suggest the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the school's struggles and the development of targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
