Oakdale Middle School

Summary:

Oakdale Middle School is a public middle school located in Rogers, Arkansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 850 students. It is part of the Rogers School District, which is ranked 32 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Oakdale Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to other Rogers schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Rogers School District and the state of Arkansas averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts for all grades is 29.1% at Oakdale, compared to 41.7% for the Rogers School District and 33.8% for Arkansas. Additionally, Oakdale Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.47% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the other Rogers schools, which ranged from 41.91% to 55.09%.

The nearby Kirksey Middle School and Elmwood Middle School, which are also part of the Rogers School District, consistently outperform Oakdale Middle School on test scores and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the challenges faced by Oakdale Middle School may be more complex than simply allocating more resources, and may require a multifaceted approach to address the unique needs of its student population.

Open Quote Disinterested administration. Several teachers have poor classroom management. Disrespectful to parents and students. No encouragement or motivation for the students who are there to learn. Close Quote

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.
