OAKLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL

Oakley Middle School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Oakley school district, located in Oakley, KS with about 126 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th 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 9 teachers, Oakley Middle School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Oakley Middle School is located in the small, rural community of Oakley, Kansas, serving as a core educational hub for the local district. As part of the Oakley Public Schools system, the middle school is dedicated to providing a structured, supportive academic environment for students in the upper elementary and middle grades, focusing on foundational learning and personal development to prepare them for the transition to high school.

The school emphasizes a small-town educational approach, leveraging its connection to the broader district to offer a variety of extracurricular activities and community-focused programs. By prioritizing strong teacher-student relationships and core academic standards, Oakley Middle School aims to cultivate an inclusive environment where students can build both their intellectual skills and their character within the close-knit culture of Western Kansas.
