Oasis Middle School

Q: Is Oasis Middle School a good school?

Oasis Middle School ranks 372 nd of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oasis Middle School is a public charter school in Bradenton, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a small student population of just 45 students. Despite its small size, this school stands out within the Manatee School District, which is ranked 34 out of 68 districts in the state.

One of Oasis Middle School's key differentiators is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.33%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 22.45% to 61.58% Hispanic. Academically, the school outperforms the Manatee district and the state of Florida in several key test score metrics, including 86% proficiency in Civics EOC, 67% proficiency in 6th Grade ELA, and 83% proficiency in 7th Grade Math. However, the school also faces challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42% and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (84.44%).

Interestingly, Oasis Middle School's high spending per student ($17,541 in 2022-2023) is the highest among the surrounding schools, which range from $7,515 to $14,144 per student. This, coupled with the school's small student population, may indicate a focus on providing individualized attention and resources to support student learning and achievement, despite the school's high poverty and chronic absenteeism rates. When compared to the high-performing Sarasota School of Arts/Sciences, another charter school in a different district, Oasis Middle School's strong academic performance suggests it has the potential to continue improving and reaching even higher levels of success.

Extremely high turnover rate. Lost 4 teachers just in the 18-19 school year alone. Poor communication between staff and parents. Lack of consistency. I went to Oasis Middle School because I thought the smaller size would help, but the exact opposite happened. Highly disorganized. Save yourself, go somewhere else. Close Quote

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.
