PANAMA ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PANAMA school district, located in Panama, OK with about 419 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, PANAMA ES has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1.
