Oakland Elementary

Summary:

Oakland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Oakland, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 701 students. The school is part of the Fayette County Public Schools district, which is ranked 136 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakland Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (43.37%) and Hispanic (12.7%) students compared to the state average. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 746 and 919 out of 983-1020 schools over the past 6 years. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects, particularly for White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups. In contrast, Oakland Elementary's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup.

When comparing Oakland Elementary to nearby schools, such as La Grange Moscow Elementary and Buckley-Carpenter Elementary, which have similar demographic profiles, these schools outperform Oakland Elementary on academic measures. The closest school, Southwest Elementary, has a more diverse student population and significantly higher academic performance, ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools. High-performing schools in the Collierville and Arlington districts, such as Crosswind Elementary and Arlington Elementary, also serve as a benchmark for the level of academic achievement that Oakland Elementary could potentially aspire to.

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.
