Oakdale Elementary

Summary:

Oakdale Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Highlands, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 584 students. The school is part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, which is ranked 1122 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakdale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 5163 and 5786 out of around 5,800 schools. The school has maintained a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. Oakdale Elementary struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and White student subgroups, as well as for English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2023-2024, only 16.29% of Oakdale students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 33.41% in the district and 47.04% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 12.22% at Oakdale, compared to 23.53% in the district and 35.54% statewide.

The nearby schools in the Twin Rivers Unified School District, such as Frederick Joyce Elementary, Kohler Elementary, and Woodridge Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state averages, but generally outperform Oakdale Elementary across academic measures. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at Oakdale Elementary may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school's consistently poor performance suggests the need for a targeted, multi-faceted approach to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
