Orchard Park

Summary:

Orchard Park is an elementary school located in Oakley, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 716 students. The school is part of the Antioch Unified School District, which is ranked 1374 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orchard Park faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 12.9% in 2017-2018 to 37.1% in 2022-2023, much higher than the state average and surrounding schools in the Antioch Unified District. The school's test scores are also generally lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 38.83% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22.4% in Mathematics, compared to 47.04% and 35.54% statewide, respectively. Orchard Park's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with African American, Hispanic, and White students struggling compared to their peers.

Compared to nearby schools in the Oakley Union Elementary District, such as Almond Grove Elementary and Vintage Parkway Elementary, Orchard Park's performance is generally lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and a larger percentage of students from low-income families. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for Orchard Park to improve and provide a better learning environment for its students.

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.
