OAKES ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the OKEMAH school district, located in Okemah, OK with about 299 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
