Oakmont Elementary

Summary:

Oakmont Elementary is a public elementary school located in Claremont, California, serving 271 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Claremont Unified School District, which is ranked 412 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Oakmont Elementary faces several academic challenges, with its performance generally lower than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 45.63% of Oakmont students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.41% for the district and 47.04% for California. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22%, significantly higher than the district and state. Additionally, Oakmont has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.22% to 37.87% over the past few years.

However, Oakmont Elementary's performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and Special Education students, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, Oakmont's Hispanic students ranked 1,374 out of 5,102 California elementary schools in English Language Arts/Literacy, while the overall school ranking was 2,141 out of 5,862 schools. This suggests that the school may be providing targeted support or interventions for these subgroups, which could be an area of strength to build upon. When compared to nearby Chaparral Elementary and Vista del Valle Elementary, Oakmont generally performs lower in academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

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.
