Oakbrooke Elementary School

Summary:

Oakbrooke Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sherwood, Arkansas, serving 441 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Pulaski County Special School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 285 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakbrooke Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Reading proficiency, but lags behind in Mathematics and Science. The school has seen an increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, reaching 52.83% in 2022-2023. While Oakbrooke spends more per student than the state average, its performance is still below that of some nearby schools with lower per-student spending, such as Sherwood Elementary School and Sylvan Hills Elementary School. The nearby Harris Elementary School consistently performs significantly worse than Oakbrooke across all subject areas.

The stark contrasts in performance between Oakbrooke and the nearby high-poverty schools, such as William Jefferson Clinton Elementary School, highlight the influence of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement. While Oakbrooke's higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to higher test scores, the school's strengths in ELA and Reading, combined with its relatively consistent student-teacher ratio, suggest areas of potential improvement in Mathematics and Science.

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.
