Summary:

Oak Creek Intermediate is a public middle school located in Oakhurst, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 204 students. The school is part of the Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1022 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Creek Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by standardized tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 28.07% (6th grade) to 32.81% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 45.82% (6th grade) and 45.95% (8th grade). Similarly, in Mathematics, the percentage of students proficient or better ranged from 15.63% (8th grade) to 19.64% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 31.57% (8th grade) and 33.83% (7th grade). The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST, is also lower than the state average, with only 16.39% of students proficient or better in 8th grade, compared to the state average of 28.95%. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.5% in 2017-2018 to 36.6% in 2022-2023.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic, White, and low-income students, as well as students with disabilities, consistently underperforming compared to their peers. This suggests that the school may need to address equity issues and provide targeted interventions to support the academic growth of these underperforming subgroups. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19.5 to 20.1 students per teacher over the past three school years, may also contribute to the academic challenges faced by Oak Creek Intermediate.

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.
