The school is part of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 819 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakdale Junior High's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels.

The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST assessment, also lags behind the district and state. Additionally, Oakdale Junior High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2018-2019 to 21.6% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting the school's academic performance.

Interestingly, Oakdale Junior High's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Hickman Middle charter school, which consistently outperforms Oakdale Junior High and the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Other nearby public schools, such as La Loma Junior High and Cardozo Middle, also have lower academic performance compared to Oakdale Junior High, suggesting that the challenges faced by Oakdale Junior High may be more widespread in the region. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in improving the school's performance and providing a quality education for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
