Fair Oaks Elementary

Summary:

Fair Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakdale, California, serving 821 students in grades K-6 and part of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District.

Fair Oaks Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with 51.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 45.89% in Mathematics, compared to 49.19% and 34.86% for the district, respectively. The school also excels in Science, with 48.31% of students proficient or better, outpacing the district's 28.16% and the state's 30.7%. Fair Oaks' strong performance extends to specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank among the top California elementary schools in their respective categories. However, the school faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 7.6% to 19.9% in recent years, and achievement gaps for White students and students with low socioeconomic status.

Compared to nearby Cloverland Elementary and Sierra View Elementary, both part of the same district, Fair Oaks outperforms these schools in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics assessments, suggesting the school may have more effective instructional practices or resources. Investigating the factors behind Fair Oaks' success and addressing the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and equity issues, could provide valuable insights for the district and other schools in the region.

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.
