Oak Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments. While the school had higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, its performance in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, as well as Mathematics and Science, was generally lower. The school has also demonstrated some strengths in specific student subgroups, such as ranking 37th out of 475 Oregon elementary schools for Hispanic students in 2017-2018 and 192nd out of 523 for low socioeconomic status students in 2023-2024. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 181st out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 395th out of 706 schools in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Oak Elementary School's performance is generally lower than that of Oak Grove Elementary and North Albany Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. However, Oak Elementary School outperforms some other nearby schools, such as South Shore Elementary and Waverly Elementary, which have significantly lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. The school's challenges may be related to the socioeconomic factors of its student population, with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

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.
