The school is part of the Oxford Day Academy District, which is ranked 1550 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oxford Day Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.25% of students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%, and 0% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.9%.

Additionally, Oxford Day Academy had a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Woodside High, Los Altos High, and Palo Alto High, Oxford Day Academy stands out as the lowest-performing school in the region. This is likely due to the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (73.91% in 2022-2023) at the school, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite being a public charter school, Oxford Day Academy has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past few years, and its statewide ranking has declined from 942 out of 1290 in 2020-2021 to 2261 out of 2323 in 2023-2024.

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.
