Oakbrook Academy of the Arts

Summary:

Oakbrook Academy of the Arts is a public elementary school serving 557 students in grades K-8 in Fairfield, California, which is part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, it faces some significant challenges, particularly around chronic absenteeism and uneven academic performance across student subgroups.

Oakbrook Academy's chronic absenteeism rate has risen sharply from 7.5% in 2020-2021 to 34.3% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the 26.2% rate at the nearby Cordelia Hills Elementary. Academically, the school generally performs better than the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district average on Smarter Balanced Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, but lags behind the state average in many grade levels and subject areas. The school's Hispanic and White student subgroups perform relatively poorly compared to their peers statewide, while its special education and low socioeconomic status subgroups perform better.

Despite these challenges, Oakbrook Academy's proximity to higher-performing schools like Nelda Mundy Elementary and Cordelia Hills Elementary suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices. Additionally, the school's history of maintaining a 3-star rating indicates that there is potential for improvement with the right interventions and a focus on equity.

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.

Gem of a school! Test scores aren't everything. Small in size but offers so much to students. Focus on the arts, which is rare nowadays. Most importantly, my children are so happy here. Teachers and staff are amazing! Close Quote

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.
