Oakley

Located in a remote rural community in western Kansas, Oakley Public Schools operates as an active, traditional public school district committed to delivering comprehensive learning opportunities to local youth. Based out of its central office at 621 Center Avenue, Suite 103, in Oakley, the district encompasses three operational schools that span the complete educational spectrum from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district serves a total student body of 456 children, maintaining a small-town atmosphere across all grade levels. Its student population comprises 393 White, 46 Hispanic, 15 multiracial, and 2 Black students, offering a close-knit educational setting where young learners progress seamlessly from early childhood education through high school graduation.

A defining strength of the district is its substantial staffing footprint relative to its student body, fostering an exceptional environment for individualized instruction. Oakley employs over 76 full-time equivalent teachers alongside nearly 57 support personnel and dedicated instructional aides, bringing the total district staff to approximately 134 full-time equivalent positions. This robust staffing structure yields a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 6 to 1, enabling educators to provide tailored academic intervention, strong mentorship, and deep community engagement.
