Red Oak Elementary

Summary:

Red Oak Elementary is a public elementary school in Shakopee, Minnesota, serving around 500 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than nearby schools like Sun Path Elementary and Eagle Creek Elementary, which have a larger percentage of White students.

Academically, Red Oak Elementary's performance on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) is generally on par with or slightly below the Shakopee Public School District and the state of Minnesota averages. However, the school stands out for its stronger performance among certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, compared to district and state averages. Additionally, Red Oak Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.64% to 58.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district.

While Red Oak Elementary's performance has fluctuated in its statewide ranking over the years, the school's diverse student population and focus on supporting its students set it apart from the more affluent and less diverse nearby schools. The school's potential areas for improvement include increasing overall math and reading proficiency rates to match or exceed the district and state averages, but its unique characteristics and strong subgroup performance highlight the importance of considering factors beyond just test scores when evaluating the success of a school.

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.

Open Quote I was a student at Red Oak Elementary many years ago and I hated it.
The teachers were all extremely rude to me and all they would do to me when I told them that I was getting bullied, is laugh! I was constantly made fun of and the education was atrocious. The teachers would simply send you out of the classroom if you didn't get the concept and asked them a question. I would come home crying everyday. The teachers at this school don't care about the students at all and just want money. Thus, this school is awful. 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.
