Oak Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Oak Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school located in Greenfield, California, serving 681 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Greenfield Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1438 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Mary Chapa Academy and Arroyo Seco Academy, Oak Avenue Elementary has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.7% to 16.0% over the past few years. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized tests, is generally lower than the nearby schools and the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy at Oak Avenue Elementary ranged from 15.79% to 35.96%, compared to the Greenfield Union Elementary District average of 20.85% to 25.98% and the California state average of 42.8% to 47.37%.

Oak Avenue Elementary's performance for specific student groups, such as Female Students, Male Students, Hispanic Students, English Language Learner Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, is also generally lower than the state averages for those groups. This suggests that the school may face challenges in serving its predominantly low-income student population, which ranges from 80.32% to 86.53% free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24.3 to 25.6 over the past few years, may contribute to the lower academic performance.

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.
