Oakmont Elementary

Summary:

Oakmont Elementary is a public elementary school in Dickson, Tennessee, serving 474 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Dickson County School District, which is ranked 24th out of 139 districts in the state.

Oakmont Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races. While the school's overall academic performance on TNReady assessments is lower than the district and state averages, it performs relatively stronger for African American and Special Education students, ranking in the top 50% of Tennessee elementary schools in these subgroups. The school also has a higher per-student spending of $15,246 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.2, suggesting a focus on resources and support.

However, Oakmont Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 238th out of 983 Tennessee elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 489th out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and indicates the need for a closer examination of the school's practices. Examining the strategies employed by higher-performing nearby schools, such as Centennial Elementary and The Discovery School, could provide valuable insights for Oakmont Elementary to improve its own 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.
