Oakwood Elementary

Summary:

Oakwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Yanceyville, North Carolina, serving 333 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Caswell County Schools district, which is ranked 226 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakwood Elementary faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its student population is 55.56% African American, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 20.99% to 39.18% African American students. Additionally, over 99% of Oakwood Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, its performance on state assessments remains significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The persistent low performance at Oakwood Elementary suggests that the school is struggling to effectively serve its student population. The racial disparities and high levels of economic disadvantage may contribute to the academic challenges, and the school's leadership and the Caswell County Schools district will need to carefully examine the root causes and implement targeted, evidence-based interventions to improve student outcomes. While the nearby schools, such as Altamahaw-Ossipee Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Williamsburg Elementary, also serve economically disadvantaged populations, they generally outperform Oakwood Elementary, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies.

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.
