Oakwood Elementary

Summary:

Oakwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Oakwood, Texas, with a student population of 142 as of the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently lower academic performance, high poverty levels, and a lack of diversity compared to the surrounding area.

Oakwood Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. This declining academic performance has contributed to the school's statewide ranking dropping from 345 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 3,881 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. In contrast, nearby schools like Northside Pri, Dew School, and Southside Elementary generally have higher academic performance and statewide rankings.

Another significant challenge for Oakwood Elementary is the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Oakwood Elementary has a much higher percentage of White students (59.86%) compared to the overall Texas student population, which is more evenly distributed across racial groups. This lack of diversity may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience for its students. Addressing these root causes, such as the impact of poverty on student learning and the need for a more diverse student population, will be crucial for improving Oakwood Elementary's performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.

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.
